Talk:Indian state government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic

Article scope

edit

@Royal711: Hi. This article is meant to cover only the state government responses. So please don't add anything out of the article scope. Kindly only add what was done by govt. and state to combat the virus. Thanks for the efforts! Shanze1 (talk) 12:35, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

State level vs central?

edit

So now that the PM has ordered total lockdown of the country, I'm not sure what we should do with the table here. His order must supersede all existing regulations of state govts'. So should we remove the table, modify it in someway or keep it this way (since it is about state-wise decisions) and add central response too. I feel like just removing it :/. What do all you suggest?

  Question: Does a order of lockdown from central government means service operated by state government like transport would also be closed? If Yes then we should remove this table?
It is unclear as of now. We'll know about it soon. Shanze1 (talk) 16:16, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Shanze1 What do you think about merging this article with Janta curfew to create new article with this new central lockdown? Brown Chocolate (talk) 16:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Brown Chocolate:@Mr.Mani Raj Paul:@TheRichardPinto:@SaiP:@Mayankj429: I think Janta Curfew should be merged, but with the main article. but with this one and cover lockdown here?. That sounds good but do you think we don't need a standalone article covering state responses? Shanze1 (talk) 16:29, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict) My personal thought would be, this article mainly mention about lockdown till 31th March. After Central's new decision it would be not much important. Also this article mostly cover current events (also written in present or future tense). Just imagine this article reading after a month. Better to discuss and hear opinion of others too. Brown Chocolate (talk) 17:03, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
In one line I am talking about Creating article about state and central government decision/implementation. This would include lockdown from central, state government descision and Janta curfew. Other please involve in this discussion. Brown Chocolate (talk) 17:09, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Your opinion makes sense. I thought there will still be more state government actions in the future (even tomorrow) worthy of coverage. Because each state will still act differently regarless of this central's lockdown. Yeah I'm not sure, need others' view on this. Shanze1 (talk) 17:13, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Shanze1 You must be correct. The thing is, I am a kid in hurry, preparing for JEE, who should have pen and paper now. How much decision state would take? How important they would be to add in wiki article? I am certainly talking about creating a section in that page about state government decisions. I am bit immature to know about this government things. You all are more experienced, you know that better.

@Mr.Mani Raj Paul:@TheRichardPinto:@SaiP:@Mayankj429: @DiplomatTesterMan: @Kautilya3: would you guys please share your opinion? Brown Chocolate (talk) 03:30, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

I think the state responses article should be as it is... Only its title should be changed to something like "state responses before complete nationwide lockdown". Also, Janta Curfew article should be merged into the main article as the event was a one time thing and most probably won't be repeated again. TheRichardPinto (talk) 03:50, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. But we should wait before renaming for the reason I said above. Shanze1 (talk) 04:24, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Shanze1 In a simple way , you can mention the;Section like this
State level regulations before 24 March

The table lists state level regulations that are currently imposed by the respective state and central governments before 24 March, but on 24 March, PM Modi announced complete lockdown in mid night.

please do not remove table (Mr.Mani Raj Paul (talk) 03:53, 25 March 2020 (UTC))Reply

@Mr.Mani Raj Paul: Agreed and done. Shanze1 (talk) 04:24, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Mr.Mani Raj Paul, TheRichardPinto, Shanze1, Brown Chocolate, DTM, and Mayankj429: Hello guys. My apologies. I was busy getting essentials for home. I hope you understand. As far as the suggestion is concerned, with my experience in writing IEEE articles, I would suggest that we keep the main article crisp and short. It should only summarise. The details about lockdown can be included in Indian local government response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic by changing the title to Indian federal, state, and local government response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. In that way, we can cover all types of lockdown and curfews in one article and we can link the same in the main article. Let the table be intact. As per other editors, we can keep the table intact saying this was before PM announced the 3-week lockdown. Request your opinions on my comment. Thank you. SaiP (talk) 07:17, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@SaiP: We have 2020 India coronavirus lockdown now fyi. Still we can consider the rename. Shanze1 (talk) 07:22, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Shanze1: Wonderful. I feel we can merge Janata Curfew into 2020 India coronavirus lockdown saying 'Janata Curfew was extended to the 3-week lockdown What do you think?. SaiP (talk) 07:29, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@SaiP: The merge discussion will decide the fate of Janata Curfew. I personally feel it should be merged with the main article. I was confused about the necessity of this article since it's scope currently is only the state level response/decisions. What do you feel about this now? Shanze1 (talk) 07:34, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Shanze1:   Agree Janata Curfew should be merged with the main article here   2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_India#Lockdown and that section can be linked in 2020 India coronavirus lockdown. SaiP (talk) 07:43, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Changing the name from LOCAL->STATE

edit

The article name does not reflect its content accurately. Since this is the state government's repsonse not the local governments For reference:[1]. Should we change the name? Tanyasingh (talk) 04:58, 17 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Tanyasingh, It was considered before as well. I guess we can do so now. Shanze1 (talk) 05:16, 17 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
