Popular Post AlexRich Posted March 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2020 It’s the right move, but I don’t think that India can cope with that instruction. Many are on the breadline and live hand to mouth, and even those with employers will find that the money runs out as they won’t get paid. I won’t be surprised to see riots. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
