How poor we are...

We can see the images of hungry & emaciated men and women, young and old, and little children with pots, plastic bags and beddings on their heads and shulders, walking on empty, metalled roads and highways, often barefoot, heading towards their distant destinations, marks a tragic and heart-rending site, reminiscent of forced migrations during this epidemics & will be famine. I doubt that by 15th of April, the scenario changes. I do not see how it is possible for a man to die worth fifty million of currencies, or ten million of currencies, in the cities full of wants, when they'll meet almost every day the withered hand of beggary & the white lips of famine. How a man can withstand all that, The government is really trying that a famine would not be existed, and humanitarian aid will be ineffective through the worst months of the crisis. The government first attempted to influence the mass, took necessary steps for rationing but... instead will be creating a black market which will encourage sellers to withhold stocks, leading to hyperinflation from speculation and hoarding after controls would be abandoned, there are uncanny fears that there will be hundreds of thousands who might die in the wake of Coronavirus, not due to the pandemic, but due to hunger. I know our government is trying hard to protect, but yet that is not sufficient. Surely, India deserves better governance and an effective & sensitive government measures/steps to eradicate that is cognizant of its responsibility towards the country’s most vulnerable. We all dont know even on the reaching to the 3rd stage of COVID-19, that what is coming to us....
