Covid-19 testing centre for migrant workers at Chichira border on NH6, near Kharagpur

Migrant workers reaching the Chichira interstate border checkpost on NH6 (old number) near Kharagpur in hired buses from distant states are forcibly stopped by West Bengal police at this point in the midst of nowhere and subjected to unprecedented harassment.

The shack with fluttering plastic sheets is West Bengal's unmanned and hitech super-speciality Covid19/ health checkup/testing centre at Chichira border on NH6.

The police themselves are advising the poor/ hapless travellers to leave the buses and start walking to their destination in West Bengal through the forests to avoid waiting for hours for the health checkups to happen.

P.S: It's not clear if roadies in own cars and bikes also need to take a break at the same location, abandon the ride and continue walking.

Auto rickshaw driver in Kerala makes passengers adhere to hygiene before a ride

This auto rickshaw driver in Kerala (KL-14) makes his passengers follow a strict set of guidelines pertaining to hygiene before the start of journey.
We feel that someone should give the driver a lecture on the importance of covering the nose and mouth and wear a glass/ face shield, too.

Coffee at Starbucks is more important than than the fear of Coronavirus during lockdown 4.0 in end May 2020

6 pm at a Starbucks in Mumbai on Tuesday 2020-05-26, the scene from my car window while returning from a grocery run. Now let me get this straight :

Counted 21 people ‘hanging around’ huddled together less than an arm’s length apart.. with most without masks happily chatting across a cup of coffee.
Mumbai is the worst Corona hit city with 30,000 cases, an acute shortage of hospital beds and people dying on the street unable to get treatment in time.

Now I’m guessing a ‘person’ paying 400 bucks for coffee is not an illiterate slum dweller or a walking migrant worker dying of thirst. These are educated supposedly ‘sensible’ people.

Am I the only one thinking the situation around us is grim ? Can somebody explain to me WHAT IS GOING ON 🤷🏻‍♂️ ?

The priorities of life for these elitists in Mumbai (or anywhere in India) are so mixed up.
I can vouch that quite a few of those crowding the road devoid of the usual traffic or seen cozily sitting and sipping coffee priced at ₹400+ per cup at the signature coffee shop in upmarket Mumbai  are discussing the plight of migrant workers walking 1000 kms back home.
And all these happening on 2020-05-26, even while #lockdown 4.0 is in force and almost 7,000 people are being tested #Covid19 positive everyday, with Mumbai being the worst hit 😡

Jyoti Kumari is a 15 year old girl from Bihar who carried her wounded father from GURUGRAM (Gurgaon) to their home village in DARBANGHA district (Bihar) on her bicycle covering 1200 kms over 7 days during the lockdown in May 2020.

The young girl deserves the 'carrot' in 'Carrot N Stick'.
