Trahi Trahi Chahuore (Helplessness every where)

It is trahi trahi already from East to West China, Korea, Japan, many other states faced the fury of COVID-19 before many could assess the full impact of the virus. Till Italy shook Europe, Iran other nations, the virus reached America and England. The daily rise in the numbers of the sick sudden deaths rising from single digit to two in the early days and three later shocked the world community instantly casting a pall of gloom throwing normal life in to lockdown everywhere jolting The smugly 6 billion world community Gasping at numbers of the dead & sick The tragic irony of super powers killing millions like flies in wanton nuclear war Devastating and destroying in minutes The whole world at the press of a button Ignoring signals of Benevolent Nature The only Super Power in the universe Nature’s annoyance is too apparent to Ignore or its power to punish the guilty Unless human conduct changes fast it Will invite the wrath of the Benevolent Going into a panic mode is not enough Trahi trahi- the individual cry of alarm Knowing not when it will abate, subside The remedy though lies in human mind Pray to the Mighty the Benevolent: say Trahimaam, trahimaam O! Benevolent Save me, protect me, forgive me Mother Community of nations in solemn unison.

Appoint them
If facts quoted by Arun Sharma are correct, then Government should appoint all these qualified MBBS persons on contract basis for Two years. They can be considered for regular appointment there after.

Really a state of quandary !

It is really a state of quandary that when the banks are jostling with the humongous NPA’s there still is a rat race in the banks to sell the third party products be it mutual funds, Insurance or any other financial instrument.
It is axiomatic that bankers are not trained and well versed with selling of the third party products and even the fee based income by selling these items is miniscule balance sheet of the banks. Moreover, the most bright employees of the banks be placed in the Loan Recovery Section so that they ruminate for the recovery of the bank dues, out of box to nip the nefarious acts of errant borrowers who are trained to eat away the funds of banks.

High level Empowered Groups – a very good move
High level Empowered Groups constituted; Very good move. They should be given adequate Administrative and Financial Powers

Sanity required in locked down India
The PM has correctly asked India to be self disciplined for 21 days . That requires Essential Services to be seamlessly working . These are:- Hospitals , Doctors , Nursing staff , healthcare workers for elderly to be given curfew passes. Logistics is the backbone of Indian Lockdown. That requires Trucks, Drivers, loading staff and more to be given curfew passes. That will ensure food , milk, medicines, and more to be supplied seamlessly to retail outlets across the country. Currently a state of confusion prevails as police at borders are not letting drivers bring in loaded trucks with supplies ! That is ridiculous. Panic and shortages must not be created in India. The Home Ministry must ensure the same and if necessary request our Indian Army to assist. The Indian Armed Forces are very capable in war and peace to ensure logistics are supplied all over the country . Their role can be expanded now to ensure Indian people receive supplies . During demonetisation the IAF flew currency in to banks . The Indian Armed Forces can easily assist trucking companies to supply food , medicines and more. A national effort for next 30 days is required.
