Hi, how is it going?

What? Stranded abroad? How many of you?
Oh, that should not be a bother. Yes, a plane can be arranged. From the Air Force if necessary. After all, we also have some responsibilities towards our people.

What about the quarantine? That can be arranged. Yes, yes – a good private hospital.
The Police? No issues – the Police is very much there. They will handle it, don’t worry. …… Bon voyage

Hello, yes? What? I see, are they already closing down the hostels? Yes, it must be difficult. I quite understand? How many of you? It does not matter. We will arranges the buses. After all, we also have some responsibilities towards our people, You are the future generation. Parents must also be getting worried.

Quarantine? Do not worry. That will be managed.
Don’t worry about the passes. The Police is very much there. They will handle it. Pack your bags now. Bye and take care.

Hello. Yes! What is it now? Stranded in the metro city. So? What’s the problem.
What is the hurry? Your family is not running away anywhere. Don’t be so irresponsible. After all, you too have some responsibilities towards the society. Are they not distributing the food packets? I saw it on the channel.

These are all excuses – just so that you can come home and enjoy a paid holiday. How can we bring so many people?

Run trains? Are you serious. Is it a child’s play? Running a train. You people will come in droves and spread the infection here.

Quarantine? Did you say quarantine? How can we handle such a huge load. We have other urgent tasks. You better stay home and stay safe.

Walking back? Are you out of your minds? All highways are closed. No movement.
Well, if you want to run the risk it is your choice. Face the consequences then.
Fair enough. If you are so adamant, the police is there to handle the situation.
Don’t blame us later. Bye.
