miserly and inadequate, it actually promoted many to go back to their villages.

Tragic," he said."A confidence boosting financial assistance plan should have been announced either before or simultaneously with the announcement of lockdown." said Chidambaram.It is now conclusively established that the lockdown was declared and enforced in 4 hours without any preparation whatsoever. Tragic.
