There is a need for a concerted study on the impacts of the lock down in various communities. Not all people have been inconvenienced or suffered equally.
We are not sure what the impact of Corona lock down will be on the villages and community of the Range. The winter was particularly cold and just when people thought that they could move around a bit came the lockdown.
A number of the village residents are involved with the hospitality trade in Mussoorie and other places and they would have definitely suffered an impact. Then those in the agriculture trade.
There have been reports of shortage of essential supplies and overcharging by ration shops.
Transport facilities in the region are poor, which affects the supplies of food and other materials as well.
