@parthasinha @derekobrienmp I respect what you meant. But,hundreds of those people can be the carrier of coronavirus who have come to show their respect to Mr. Soumitra before he begins for his heavenly abode.Would Mr. Soumitra had wanted this kind of homage in reality where other humans could die as well?

It happens only in Kolkata. The death of a creative stalwart brings the whole city out even during the pandemic scare. The state bestowed state honour even when his political allegiance and ideology were different from the ruling party. Proud of my Kolkata. @derekobrienmp

@MamataOfficial Rising strong and focussed after the devastation is the biggest required thing in people's mind. I hope you keep your hopes for Bengal alive and we surely will overcome all difficulties.

Cyclone #Amphan has left a trail of devastation beyond our thoughts. While the material damage is substantial, Bengal stands united in this time of crisis. Together we will overcome this because nothing can dampen the spirit and strength of the people of Bengal. জয় বাংলা।

A message very loud and clear from @CPKolkata @KolkataPolice

Home Ministry issues clarification on its new order of opening of shops: - In rural areas, all shops, except those in shopping malls allowed to open. - In urban areas, all standalone/neighbourhood shops and shops in residential complexes are allowed to open.

@KolkataPolice @CPKolkata @MamataOfficial Can anyone please inform the senior citizens who are old and more susceptible to the coronavirus,how can they get groceries at home. Is there any helpline in particular?

Please do not crowd around the shops in markets. Always maintain #SocialDistancing We have started marking the area in front of shops so that safe distance can be maintained at all times. #StaySafeStayHome #CoronavirusLockdown @CPKolkata, @MamataOfficial

@rainmessenger Please message me if you get any particular details for senior citizens who cannot go out for groceries.

@alinaghatak16 Found out that some local clubs are providing food to the homeless and mamata also asked delivery of essentials to be allowed. Fingers crossed

Need a better system of getting essentials to the old and infirm. Online patforms overwhelmed already. Can local leaders help?

Rep. Carolyn Maloney on coronavirus spreading: “Is the worst yet to come, Dr. Fauci?” “Yes, it is,” Dr. Fauci says, adding that whenever you have an outbreak where there’s “community spread,” you won’t be able to “effectively and efficiently contain it.” abcn.ws/3cPffGH

“We will see more cases and things will get worse,” Dr. Anthony Fauci says on coronavirus, adding that “How much worse will get will depend” on U.S. ability to “contain the influx” from abroad and “contain and mitigate in our own country.” abcn.ws/3cPffGH
