but experts say the lockdown is unlikely to help reap any great results for lack of preparations to implement the restrictions.
They said a curfew-like situation must be created during the lockdown by engaging the members of the
Army and BGB alongside the regular law enforcers to force people to maintain health safety rules and stay indoors. The experts also opposed the government’s decision to keep mills and factories open during the lockdown as they fear it will help the virus continue to spread.
They said the government should have provided the destitute, DAY-LABOURERERS and slum-dwellers with a specific amount of money to manage their food and livelihood before enforcing the lockdown.
