Communication was conveyed very clearly, question should have been, what was the content of communication, door to door, isn't?Most chutiya chief minister is Uddhav Thakre. Now Bandra station is full of migrants labourers. They have failed to communicate about extension of lockdown.
There are a lot of small scale zari & other textile units in the slums there. Most if not all the workers are single source . Essentially from WB, Bihar & UP in that order. I don't think this is essentially a political move. Look at the demographics there. The BJP doesn't have any hold there . Why would the parties in the government do it? I believe it's a spontaneous move. Probably decided to wait till the 14th in anticipation that there'd be a relaxation of the lockdown for a few days during which they'd make their way home . Can't read much into it.Mostly locals(almost all people here are native of other states) from nearby slums located on eastern part of Bandra local station, around east south general direction from Bandra Terminus. Important to note, people located near Bandra Terminus crossed Bandra local station and converged in front of Mosque, adjacant to Bandra Local station western side. Outstation trains run from eastern side Bandra Terminus, not western side Bandra Local Station.
It's not one person's doing, rather we believe it spread in specific homes and that can be only done by collective efforts. Political chess is already in motion.
TN sees a steep decrease in positive cases today against above 90 positive cases for the last 3 days trend, total cases stands at 1204.
Today - 31 postive / 2792 negative. (20 tablic/ remaining public)
Yesterday - 98 positive / 2064 negative (91 tablic/remaining public)
My doubt only coming from the fact that if they wanted to go to native place,There are a lot of small scale zari & other textile units in the slums there.

In order to go to LTT or CST , there has to be some way to get there. But I agree with you. There's no point going to Bandra (W) outside the mosque adjacent to the station unless you want to make a point.My doubt only coming from the fact that if they wanted to go to native place,
1. they would had gone to Kurla Terminus LTT or CSTM, not Bandra Terminus BDTS. There are hardly 4-5 trains which go to UP & Bihar, none to West Bengal from BDTS if I am correct.
2. even if they wanted to catch long distance trains, they would had gone to Bandra Terminus, not Bandra local station which is illogical, everybody knows that here.
That's all.

One word answer - No. What people tend to believe is that governments have some sort of magic wand which they move and voila everything will be right. Reality is just opposite. Governments are just as much hopeless, if not more, as people are when we are facing an enemy who can't be seen, detected without harming us first etc. They just can't say on people's face, that's it. Somethings are just not meant to be told in public.I wonder if these migrants could be screened and sent on special trains, would it help decongest cities? Rural areas have bigger houses and social distancing would be more effective. 10 people in a 15 x 15 foot hut is just a ticking time bomb, In their position, I too would have taken to the streets. The middle class can afford to stay at home with easy access to both essential services and entertainment. Again, easier said than done.

If all people stay at home here, one crore will die, if spread across country, a billion will die. Which one do you believe is more logical? Sometimes there are no good choices, only bad choices and we have to choose a lesser bad option. This is that time. Thank you.Staying at crowded places like Dharavi is not helping either. 50 people use one toilet, some have none.
Virus has already muted again in India, World over scientists working on this currently, and as we have seen, mortality rate goes up as and when this virus mututes.I just watched the Movie CONTAGION
Several people have recommended it
It is like watching the present day Corona
Epidemic but they show millions of casualties in the movie
This movie was made in 2011
