India’s deadly Covid second wave has devastated big cities during the month of April 2021. Hospitals and crematorium have run out space, and funerals are taking place in car parks and scarcity of oxygen leads to lots of death. Amid the rise in COVID-19 cases, the Union Territory of Puducherry declared lockdown. Most of the people suffered a lot and needed urgent focus. The municipal sweeper and rag pickers who will not get one day off; the migrant workers with no roof over their heads; and the small shopkeepers who are keeping supply lines going they will all need significant economic assistance. The poor have no food or drink and even they sat down thinking how to feed their family. This is the current situation of many poor innocent peoples of each and every states of India.
