24 March 2020…this date has been recorded forever in the history of India. This was the day when the entire country learned to stop suddenly. Roads became deserted, the pace of cities came to a halt and crores of people were imprisoned in their homes. An announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi shook the entire country. Now exactly after 6 years, the same memories have returned again on social media. ‘Lockdown in India 2020’ has suddenly started trending and people are remembering those days again. The interesting thing is that this time there is no danger, yet people are searching for that period. This trend has become more about memories, experiences and emotions than fear.

Why is ‘Lockdown 2020’ trending on social media?

These days, ‘lockdown in India 2020’ is being searched rapidly on Google and social media platforms. The biggest reason for this is the date of March 24, when lockdown was imposed across the country in 2020. People are remembering this day and sharing their old experiences.

From 12 pm midnight, there will be complete lockdown in the entire country. This will be akin to a curfew and will be implemented with full compliance:

No fear, search increased due to memories

Today’s situation is not like 2020. Covid-19 is now largely under control and only a few active cases are left in the country. In such a situation, the increase in searches regarding ‘lockdown’ is not because of any new danger but because of remembering the old times.

Empty roads and long journeys in discussion again

People are sharing old photos and videos on social media. Some are posting pictures of empty roads while some are remembering the difficulties of those days when migrant laborers walked thousands of kilometers to reach home. All this has once again come into discussion.

Work from home changed life

Lockdown had changed the way of life of people. Offices shifted to homes and ‘work from home’ became the new normal. Now after 6 years, people are remembering the same change and telling how that period changed their lifestyle.

Prime Minister Modi also mentioned

Recently in Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered the Covid period and told how the global supply chain was affected at that time. He also compared it with the current global tension, due to which this issue came into discussion again.
