Municipal Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal addressing a press conference today said, "There is a difference between a night curfew and a lockdown. While in lockdown, individuals cannot step out of their homes. In a curfew, more than 5 people cannot assemble outside during the specified hours. So, offices that functioning overnight or something like dairy transportation can still work operate. Taxis, cars and autorickshaws will run just like before." @shailesh505

A long thread I didnt intend to bore you with:

Around 3.30 in the night, I finally found a rickshaw to get home while it was raining heavily. This gentleman of a person was irritated in the start as I took him through roads that were knee-deep submerged in water. I kept calm, and spoke softly than usual. He abruptly went quiet and waded through waters with a straight face. As soon as we reached a better surface, he apologised saying, "Sorry bhaiya, subah se gaadi chala rahe hai aur ab ye baarish. Toh pareshan hogaye hai."

My uncle jst told me that he is thoroughly following Sushant Investigation Team (SIT) which is comprised of fans. Turns out that such team exists. What is even more murkier is that this team goes through suicide pictures for hours, goes through all chats, videos, interviews (1/4) Image and information available in public domain and comes up with new 'findings' everyday. After this, with the help of their peers, they trend these findings on twitter and YouTube. (2/4)
