A repeat telecast of what had happened at Delhi's Anand Vihar, except this time in Mumbai.

This happened within hours of Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivering his speech to announce the extension of the lockdown.

And what is the government doing to allay their troubles? Tune in to The Big Story!
