Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

आभार, श्री नरेन्द्रभाई




Thank You , Shri Narendrabhai ,



What for ?

For moving from Quadrant A to Quadrant B


Please explain :

In my following email, I urged him ,

[  A Case of Conflicting Concerns   /   23 April 2020   ] ,

Dear Shri Narendrabhai,


Citizen of USA / Europe / South America / Iran etc ., are agitating for complete and immediate lifting of lockdown

This amounts to bypassing " Quadrant B " and straight away jumping from " Quadrant A " , directly to " Quadrant C "  !

Irrespective of what happens in those countries, we must not fall prey to this populism , which will spell disaster “



Did he read your E mail ?

I have no acknowledgement from PMO but I am tempted to believe, considering yesterday’s order from MHA ( Ministry of Home Affairs ) , which admirably balances  the following  “ Conflicting Concerns “  :

Ø  Concern for LIVES ( through continued emphasis on Social Distancing )

Ø  Concern for LIVELIHOOD ( by permitting partial resumption of Economic Activities )



What is that order ?

Ø  Extension of lockdown by 2 weeks, with partial resumption of Economic Activities

Ø  Dividing entire country into three Zones ( RED / ORANGE / GREEN )

Ø  Specifying for each Zone , activities which are permitted and activities which are prohibited



But what mechanism decides RED -  ORANGE - GREEN status of a Zone ?

Ø  This is assigned based on the RISK PROFILE of an area .

     In my another email , CRY ,  Beloved Country   /   15 April 2020,

          I had suggested following matrix for this process :

      Without full cooperation of citizen, Govt cannot          win this war against an invisible enemy



          

Ø  Since we have govt officers who read our E Mails and act, let us speak up
