Pandemic in Riyasat : Lockdown Voyage with Aunjaneya Kumar Singh IAS

<p>Rampur is a small district in the state Uttar Pradesh. It was formerly a princely state in British India. Its social and psychological life still bears a few imprints of that bygone era. While stories and legends float in its air Rampur is slowly opening its eyes to newer times. Being famous or rather notorious for its Rampuri Chaku Rampur has its own ways of finding solutions to problems.</p><p>When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world and the lockdown was announced in India Rampur responded to it in Rampuri style. In this book I have tried to record the period of the first lockdown as it unfolded in Rampur. Often the most disastrous situations are the ones that leave in our hands profound wisdom. How much wisdom I inculcated I cannot say. For me it was an emotional ride with infinite ups and downs.</p>
