Description

Jammu/Delhi/Bombay/Bangalore, Apr 1 (EFE/EPA).- Street dogs barking and birds fluttering their wings are the only signs of daytime life these days in an otherwise vibrant suburb full of skyscrapers and swanky malls on the outskirts of the Indian capital.Noida, a satellite town of Delhi, has almost turned into a ghost town as India drags on with a three-week lockdown to stop the surge of coronavirus cases that have slowly but steadily started taking hold of the densely-populated country of 1.3 billion people.Occasionally though, there are a few walkers sporting protective face masks, out to buy some groceries during cleaner and brighter mornings as air pollution levels have remarkably come down in the city of tens of thousands of aspiring middle-class families.(Camera: DAVID ASTA ALARES/ALEJANDRO R.
