Tisca feels unlocking India is a ‘true test’

Actress Tisca Chopra says the unlocking of India after over two months of lockdown will be a true test, because this may be a time that demands maximum self-discipline from all.

Tisca took to Instagram, where she shared a photograph of herself in a green face mask, glasses, and a green kurta. The image seems to have been taken in an elevator.

She captioned the image: “Unlock diaries, Day 1. We aren’t, as a country, known for being self-disciplined. On the other hand, we have a history of deep spirituality, where deepest self-discipline has led to enlightenment. This may be one of the only times that we may be required to exercise maximum self-discipline. A true test.”

She emphasized on stepping outside when necessary.

“Doctor, friends across hospitals are saying they are overwhelmed and exhausted. Hospital beds are full, ICUs are crammed with cases, ambulances are taking 12 to 24 hours to arrive. This is not the time for a walk at Juhu beach or to step into a mall. Yes we have been cooped up, but some more, a little more I implore you,” she said.

“Unlocking is an economic decision, not a medical one. I hope you will be wise.. much love to all of you.. stay safe, stay in. Please. Love T.”

Restaurants, shopping malls, hotels, and religious places on Monday threw their doors open to the public over nearly two and a half months after the COVID-19 induced nationwide lockdown was imposed across the country on Monday.

The businesses will, however, have to follow stringent guidelines issued by the Health Ministry to control the spread of the highly viral disease.

Devotees throng religious places after months of lockdown

Religious places across the country flung open their doors to the devotees almost three months after they were shut due to the COVID-19 induced nationwide lockdown.

From temples and Gurudwaras to mosques and churches, a steady stream of devotees thronged all the religious sites.

While people stood inside marked circles in queues at one side and maintained social distancing, priests dawned protective masks and sat at the opposite end. Idols were also sanitised properly.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath offered prayers at Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhnath temple, of which he is the head priest, after it reopened its doors to devotees for the first time in over two months.

In Delhi, Ravinder Goel, trustee of the Jhandewalan temple said, “Thermal screening is being done twice, once near the shoe rack and again at the entrance. There is also a sanitisation tunnel at the entrance. Standing places in the lines were also earmarked clearly so as to avoid crowding.”

The temple trustee added that religious offerings like fruits are not being given to the devotees, but instead they are being handed a pouch with ‘mishri’ after they head out of the temple. Temple bells have also been covered with clothes.

At the Prachin Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place, a man dressed as ‘Hanuman’ danced to the tune of drums. BJP leader Manish Tiwari also visited the temple.

People also flocked to the Kalka Ji temple and the Gauri Shankar Temple in Chandni Chowk to offer their prayers. In Kalka Ji, the temple authorities turned back a batch of old people or parents who had brought their small children along.

A devotee said, “I have been waiting for so long for the temples to open. I will pray to God to keep my family safe from the deadly virus.”

At the religious places, authorities were seen directing people not to touch the idols. Not more than 5-10 devotees were allowed inside the shrine at a time. Each devotee was asked to pass through the sanitisation tunnel installed at the entry gate.

The devotees without face masks were not allowed, and entry of those below 10 years and above 65 years was barred.

Besides taking the precautionary measures, a Noida-based Sanatan Dharma Temple also provided masks to those who did not have it.

Delhi’s Jama Masjid and Fatehpuri Masjid also reopened for devotees. They were santinsed in the morning before reopening.

People also arrived at Sri Bangla Sahib Gurudwara in Delhi to offer prayers where community kitchens or langar was also served. One of the priests said, “All the precautionary measures are being taken. Sarovar is, however, closed. We are ensuring that people do not face any issue.”

Posani said Balyya’s comments need not be taken seriously

Balakrishna’s sensational comments at Mahanadu where he had exuded confidence that TDP would bounce back to power even before the next general election had raised shock in the political circuit. Responding to Balayya’s comments, Posani said Balyya’s comments need not be taken seriously. He said Balayya is an honest person who isn’t greedy for position or power in politics. Posani, however, said that Balayya has got short temper and his anger is short-lived.

Talking about CM Jagan, Posani said Jagan is delivering a strong leadership to the state and there’s no doubt about it. He said no one can dethrone CM Jagan as he has got the support of MLAs and people. He commented that Jagan is no NTR to be dethroned. Posani stated that Jagan will be CM for next two terms.

Though Posani has countered Balayya, he has also praised Balayya for his honesty and being non-corrupt. “When his father NTR was Chief Minister, none of his children had gone near him. Ramarao’s sons have not earned by taking advantage of their father’s position when he was CM. Neither media nor then opposition leaders in Congress have leveled any allegations against Ramarao’s children. Balayya is definitely non corrupt. But he has anger, aggression that lasts only for a minute. It won’t cause any loss to society,” said Posani who asked to take Balayya’s comments light.
