Pics Of Mumbai's Clear Skies While The City Is In Lockdown Prove That Nature Is Loving The Break

We, in India, are almost nearing a lockdown-like situation. Schools and colleges have already been closed and with the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus increasing every day, several state governments have ordered eateries and other public spaces like gyms and spas to remain shut.

People have been asked to work from home in several industries. Now, all this means that human beings are largely confined to their homes. This in turn means lesser vehicles on roads. And this has proved to be a boon for mother nature.

Ace Photographer Atul Kasbekar shared a picture of the Mumbai skies and it seems to be much better than other days.

Look outside…

The air seems cleaner
The sky is actually blue in Mumbai
Pretty sure this is related to the planet getting a break

This is NOT normal in my city
