The issue of providing good governance in the country has just turned tougher than in normal times, thanks to the pandemic in almost all countries across the world. Invoking the nation’s Constitution, making pointed references to the multitude of provisions stated in the script, also has posed problems even to the experts in legal practice, thanks to the hundred-odd amendments to the Constitution, passed by the nation’s Parliament. Complying with the rules and regulations not being the cup of tea as it were on the part of large sections of the country’s masses, the task of providing good governance is a challenge for the Government of the day.
The contemporary scenario is ample proof of the yawning gap between the administration and aam janata in the matter of achieving even a semblance of success in that task. Even as the authorities are in overdrive laying down the many simple-to-practice ground rules for checking the adverse impact of the virus COVID-19, the country’s masses, including the urban literati, is palpably showing no signs of falling in line. The law-keeping machinery as well as the healthcare workforce have virtually broken their backs in ensuring control over the unrelenting menace.
