BENGALURU: Following 48 times of lockdown driven by a ferocious second tide of this outbreak, Bengalureans stepped outside on Monday afternoon and watched the traffic bustle on streets and parks littered with Day walkers.
Vehicles piled up in traffic junctions and occupied intersections throughout the center of the town, together with Smart City functions under way eating to the carriageways.
Even though cabs and autorickshaws have been permitted to ply, public transportation, largely BMTC and Metro, stayed closed.
Manufacturing units were permitted work with 50 percent of the employees, however, private workplace and other companies were shut.
In CBD regions of Silver Jubilee Park Road, JC Road, SP Road and BVK Iyengar Road, several investors believed things were back to normal and attempted to open up their doors just to be shipped off by policemen.
Shops selling crucial items, liquor stores and building stuff benefited from prolonged business hours between 6am and 2pm.
Opticians, also, reopened their stores, however, the company remained gloomy.
Bengalureans hit on the walking trails in neighborhood parks.
Lalbagh and Cubbon Park were full of walkers that stepped out in full equipment and strength to get their morning routine.
As the afternoon wore on, it became apparent that relaxations declared by the country had been nothing to cheer .

“I really don’t possess a two-wheeler, but I am carrying out a helmet in the expectation that somebody will provide me a lift.
Thus far, nobody has ceased.”
