Nearly 98% of India’s population is under some form of lockdown.
34 states/UTs under some lockdown,
Nearly 98% of India’s population is under some form of lockdown.
Data show that while we may not have nationwide lockdown in place, as many as 34 states and union territories have some form of restrictions in place.
As of now, restrictions are in place across 28 states and 8 union territories in India. In some parts, containment measures are localised and confined to a few districts.
In other words, almost 98 per cent of India’s population is under some form of a lockdown — some through the week, some during the weekend, and with some under extended night curfews and restrictions on public events, mass gatherings and movements.
Among states, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Odisha, Haryana, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram and Puducherry have full lockdown in place.
Even in other states such as Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa, J&K, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Leh, Tripura and Himachal Pradesh, there are restrictions in place. But they are not as stringent as full lockdown.
While states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala have been giving cash handouts and food packets to the ration cardholders, other states are yet to announce welfare schemes to cushion the blow of lockdown on the vulnerable sections of the population.

Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik sanctions Rs 60 lakh to feed stray animals during Covid lockdown
The Odisha government decided to make arrangements after taking into account that locals in places where a lockdown is in place will not be able to feed stray animals. This will now be done through volunteers and voluntary organisations.
Initiative is good, the issue lies with the implementation part (just like everywhere else). Looks like party time for all municipal workers, daily 2000/- minimum.
Bihar is giving free foods in community kitchens , i think 1-2 month extra ration for everyone .
It’s hilariously 9 PM to 5 AM lockdown in the state of Telangana, not sure how effective it even is. Our dear government is reducing the number of tests day by day and positive cases too.
Not sure why patients are unable to get beds in hospitals when cases are going down. Blatant tampering of numbers!
Same case everywhere bro; Sab ke sab chor hain… Here in northern states also similar thing, they have reduced testing citing: “upar se order aaya hai, test kam karwao taaki kam cases ae” (Higher management is asking governement hospital to do less testing so that numbers get reduced !!!)
People are dying like anything, no beds, no oxygen, no medicines, no healthcare; and this is the situation of the middle class who can even at least afford to go the hospitals and try getting stuffs at super inflated price; lower class people can’t even get this, and so their numbers are not even getting added and tracked in the mortality rate… This is just sad 
Kerala is doing better I feel. The numbers are going up every day because everyone with symptoms are being tested. So far nobody died without getting treatment or oxygen.
But situation is going out of control and hospitals are getting filled fast. Vaccine is not at all available and people are rushing for it.
It is very strict lockdown now. Nobody is moving out without a police pass.
Only in telangana there is no lockdown in india
As of now, restrictions are in place across 28 states and 8 union territories in India. In some parts, containment measures are localised and confined to a few districts.
Public transport should be curtailed after giving due notice for migrant workers.
A young doctor at Guru Tegh Bahadur (GTB) Hospital succumbed to Covid-19-related complications on Sunday within hours of testing positive for the infection.
Dr Anas Mujahid, 26, was working at the GTB Hospital which has been converted into a designated Covid-19 hospital. He had completed his internship after MBBS in January.
A resident of North-East Delhi’s Bhagirathi Vihar, the 26-year-old doctor was on duty at the Ob-Gyn ward till Saturday afternoon. He got tested for the virus at 8 pm, as per an Indian Express report, and died due to intracranial bleeding around 3 am on Sunday.
now telangana is lockdown
