Kanpur: There is a complete lockdown in Jajmau area. The roads look vacant as shops neither remain open nor vehicles run. Even the highways passing through the area do find the movement of the tankers and truckers only.
What is seen in the name of noise remains the morning humming when the residents run near the shops for obtaining daily necessities. Early in the morning time, the vegetable vendors also appear on the roadside or the spaces allotted for selling the vegetables.
On Friday, a crowd gathered in the KDA Bazaar area to buy flour as the shopkeepers are not maintaining stock, as the consumers said. Several people were seen moving in search of the flour bag in the shops opened during the morning time. But its paucity saddened them.
What is satisfactory for the area people was that the LPG delivery men were delivering the cylinder to the consumers.
Residents are themselves confined into their respective houses. One said, " the lockdown must be followed in order to remain safe from the virus."
