    Cases top 10k; Lockdown #2 begins tomorrow

    Faced with the challenge of having to choose between economy vs lives, PM Modi today announced the extension of the lockdown for another 19 days, until May 3rd. Most have hailed the Centre's move, even as the clamour for relief measures is getting louder and louder.

    With India having crossed 10,000 cases in the past 24 hours, Modi today put 130 crore Indians on the appraisal of their lives. Can the govt flatten the Covid curve while keeping the economy alive? That is the biggest question at the moment.

    Here are all the developments of the day...
