Just to share how our Govt is systematically handling travellers to avoid CORONA contagion -
@MoHFW_INDIA
From a friend :
Just flew back Dallas - New Jersey - Delhi and reached home. At Delhi Each passenger is screened by health officials just outside the gate of aeroplane.....
Sometimes we fail to complement our own country / govt even though they are ahead in so many ways than their counterparts which are supposedly developed countries!
@AirAsiaIndia
You suspended the good employee for doing his job? He was ensuring your on-time performance.
For all boarding gates close 25 mins before but VIP reaches after departure time & Mgr gets suspended. Is it fair?
VIP culture must end.
They have cordoned off each and every zone in such a manner that each passenger lands and quickly leaves airport after their medical check up. This is in total contrast to airports of Dallas, New Jersey and Frankfurt which I visited in last 1 week. Hats off to Indian govt....
Yes, It is India. It is Bengaluru!
Iconic Church Street-Rehabilitated & Refurbished - A Pedestrian Friendly High Street! More being planned! Pedestrian focus is a must for sustainable cities! Hope to inspire other cities to emulate!
@HardeepSPuri
@SmartCities_HUA
@CMofKarnataka
From there one is whisked to immigration which in Delhi doesnt take more than 5 to 10 mins. And from their all travellers are quickly whisked away to their respective baggage belts. Each baggage belt is almost cordoned off and one can only go to their respective baggage belt....
This is done to prevent inter mixing of passenegers of different flights. Now before u reach the belt, ur luggage is pulled out of belt by airport staff and kept on floor. One can easily identify it from a distance and pick up and simply leave....
Great to see AIRLIFTING of Oxygen by Indian Airforce.
Thank you

Hope IMPORT of Oxygen by AIRLIFTING also starts immediately given that domestic production is overstretched.
AIRLIFTING Oxygen is dangerous. Truly roud of our defence forces! 🙏

India’s Intellectuals are “Anti-India”.

Liberal Left's contempt for affiliation with the Indian state is the manifestation of their selfishness to enrich themselves by endangering national interest. They are rightly being dumped in the dustbin of history for their historical wrong.
@BDUTT
The reason the right wing is able to enforce a coarse version of policed Nationalism is because the Liberal left has so much esoteric contempt for any sentimentalism or affiliation with the Indian State. The dogma of the Left has given birth to rise of Right.
@nsitharaman
Ma’am, many of us from Industry will be late for your interactive session as BLR is back to Good Old days of per-pandemic traffic. That’s good news but 58 mins for 14Km doesn’t help productivity & economic growth. Pl help our CM

Anyone can test positive, but the question is whether processes are in place to identify, isolate and treat. Citizens need to do their part by self quarantine and reporting if there are any symptoms.
