And Govt allowed International flights the only source of Corona input to India till 22nd March and shut down 130 crore for 21 days (may be increased) for those foreign visitor's SIN. We all had seen people touring foreign countries already under threat till 22nd March purely for FUN, some came back and even visited Secretariat (in Bengal), sang in Concert (that Singer who could even bring danger to Rastrapati Bhavan for contacts spreading. Could we put any of them behind bar? NO, instead some poor fellows going to even markets are now punished. There is no point in saying habitual BRAVO into everything. Still the lock-down is necessary and there is no doubt. But IRCTC FAILING to issue tickets beyond lock-down period is experienced by me 3 times today due to it's failure to link 3 different banks/cards which is another serious issue Indians are going to face. more  
A well deserving decision to suspend operation of all categories of passengers trains during the lock down period taken reasonably well in time. more
