As 21-day lockdown in India makes lives of millions miserable, opposition politician Rahul Gandhi says Modi Government has no contingency plan to cope with situation.  

In a tweet today, he termed the situation shameful.

In an op-ed published today in the Indian Express, Noble laureates Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo said the crisis will snowball into an economic avalanche in India. They said people will have no choice but to defy locked-down orders. 

Media reports say millions of homeless people and migrant labourers have been left in the lurch after India announced the lockdown in a bid to contain the spread of Coronavirus.
