This day, last year India observed Janta Curfew following PM Modi’s appeal to people to stay at home. He also urged people to bang thaalis to honour the frontline workers.

As India recorded highest spike in COVID cases since early November, people shared their memories from last year’s Janta Curfew.
While some shared videos of people banging thalis from their homes, others made memes and few others expressed concern over the steady rise in the number of COVID cases in India.

On this day in 2020, there was a ‘Janta Curfew’ in India. We had 361 cases on that day.
— RDX (@MandoMunda) March 22, 2021
We have 1,15,99,130 cases today.
We recorded over 43,000 cases yesterday.
No point in banging plates and yelling ‘Go Corona Go’ when you’re a moron who doesn’t even wear a mask.
Last year this day people were so excited about Janta curfew, who knew it would become a lifestyle.
