With social distancing and self-isolation the need of the hour and advised by governments and medical officials world over, a large number of people remain in their houses and are carrying their work commitments from their homes. As not many people can be seen in India as well owing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposed 21 days lockdown to lessen the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, the roads and streets across the nation and Tamil Nadu look deserted. The police across TN have been keeping a vigilant eye on those who step out of their homes and take to the roads unnecessarily. Likewise, a picture of a Tamil Nadu policeman giving water to a crow to drink has now gone viral, which has also drawn in appreciation from Maanaadu producer Suresh Kamatchi.
