Onus on citizens as Telangana State opens
The phase of living with corona begins
Hyderabad: A new phase begins from today in the fight against the dreaded COVID-19 in Telangana as the State gears up to throw itself open to normal activity in every sense. Now begins the tough time for the State - keeping a tab on COVID-19 which depends largely on the people's attitude.
Telangana State has gone ahead and taken a stand that it is better to open the markets and begin the churn of the economic activity in full throttle. The restrictions on the movement of people has almost been lifted now and there is not much to stop them from hitting the streets. Inter-district movement has also begun as well as the inter-State though with some regulations.
The flow of people from other States as well as other countries has also become routine. In fact, the State Government is eagerly awaiting the return of the skilled hands that have gone back to their native places during the lockdown crisis.
The markets are thrown open fully though with caution and conditions. Malls are getting open though not fully operational. Hotels, pubs and restaurants are bracing to attract customers in the State.
Religious activity is also set to begin. Temples are to open though with social distancing norms. No 'teertham and prasadam.' the Centre has declared and hence it would be followed, no doubt. The TTD is also experimenting with 'limited' numbers.
This is the time the Government needs people's cooperation. "No one will be bestowing a favour on us. It is in fact, for everyone's good. We must live with corona. We cannot confine ourselves to our homes due to lockdown.
