Introduction
Hello, I am Anant. I live in a small town in South Gujarat called Vapi. In comparison to Ahmedabad, Vapi has reported no cases as of 4th April, 2020. Regulations are adhered to at all times. An interesting point to note is that in comparison to Ahmedabad, stores here are stills stocked with goods like ice-creams and packaged chips. Green-grocers, however, are rounded up by the police at 10 AM everyday.

A temporary market, open from 8am to 10am, in Chala, Vapi. These are vegetable and fruit sellers who set up stalls in the open ground,having been banned from selling in the main bazaar. At 10am a police van comes to supervise the winding of the stalls, after which no one is allowed on the ground. Also note the make-shift kerchief-masks that people are wearing.
