“Feeling gratitude and not
expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” —William Arthur
Ward
The Indian government has announced
a 21-day lockdown as a preventive measure to counter COVID-19. It was a courageous
decision by Mr. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India. Although it has
both pros and cons, the pros outnumber the cons. The cons include the dearth of
regular income and inaccessibility to basic necessities. Most migrants suffered
harshly as they could not return their native places during the lockdown. At
this hour of crisis, many officials from various departments are working hard
to protect the people. They include medical professionals, nurses, police, essential
service providers, and other responders. In fact, they are the real soldiers at
this hour of crisis. Reports of stone-pelting on healthcare professionals and
police by desperate and frustrated people are highly deplorable. They are doing
their duty sincerely under pressure by risking their own lives. People must
understand and respect their contribution.
People must understand the
reasons behind the lockdown and respect the decision taken by the government in
the larger interests of the nation. It is an opportunity for them to serve
their communities and societies in whatever the best possible way either by
donating money or investing their time by participating actively in nonprofits.
They can help the needy and elders by delivering groceries and medicines. They
must express their gratitude to all the departments that work under lots of
pressure. Let us all salute these real soldiers working relentlessly to fight
coronavirus.
“Good governance is not
fire-fighting or crisis-management. Instead of opting for ad-hoc solutions the
need of the hour is to tackle the root cause of the problems.” ―Narendra Modi
