'Deserted roads to chirping birds': This is how India looked during Janta curfew
New Delhi : As soon as the Janta curfew started in India on Sunday, people were seen getting quarantined in their houses for the day. They took pictures and videos from their houses to show how things looked on the outside when the streets went blank.
Interestingly, some people shared videos where they could only hear the voices of birds chirping and making the whole experience overwhelming.
“Birds are chirping everywhere. Almost a symphony! Wonder if they would not be thinking of us humans as a form of #Corona!” a Twitter user wondered and shared a beautiful video.

While there were people enjoying the beauty of nature, there were also people who liked to see the empty streets.

It's good to see people following the self quartentine, empty roads. It's need of hour. On normal days all day people use to roam in this park But today no one is there. Stay home, stay safe.#JantaCurfewMarch22 pic.twitter.com/FVHGhuItot
