Article 144, Curfew, What a difference between a public curfew and a lockdown
The public curfew is not a compulsory curfew imposed by law but has to be voluntarily complied with in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
Lockdown is applied to limit the movement of people in critical situations, where it is mandatory to stay home.
Corrosive measures are being taken by parallel administration to take precautionary measures. Most people are advised to stay home because of direct outbreaks due to direct contact. Article 144 has been implemented in every major city of Gujarat. The public has appealed to the Prime Minister to keep the curfew on Sunday. Also, if the situation worsens in the coming days, a lockdown will have to take place. Under these circumstances it is especially important to understand all four words, their interpretation and severity.

- Not a curfew imposed by law. But given the circumstances, the people themselves choose to remain at home voluntarily as responsible citizens of the country.
- In the case of an infectious infection like corona, having a curfew is a sensible appeal to avoid contact with people.
- Exiting the house during the public curfew does not bring any legal action. But it is voluntary to stay in the house for so long.
- Nevertheless, if an out-of-home exit is required for life's necessity, identification can be accomplished. Being able to leave home immediately after completing work would be more appropriate as a responsible citizen
