Residents cheered, clapped, and set off fireworks in scenes reminiscent of Diwali. FMTNews Diwali

A firecracker goes off as flashlights and candles light up New Delhi yesterday.

Residents shouted “Hail mother India” and “go corona go”. They cheered, clapped, and set off firecrackers and fireworks that shattered the quiet evening, in scenes reminiscent of Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. But the shutdown has badly hit rural migrant workers, leaving them jobless with hundreds of thousands trying to return to their villages, many on foot.

The health ministry has blamed a recent jump in cases on a large religious gathering in the capital New Delhi in March that has been linked to more than 1,000 infections.
