From local trains honking for five continuous minutes to people banging thalis from their balconies, people responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to show solidarity with the professionals fighting the spread of Coronavirus on Sunday. But the exercise ended up becoming festive and creating unwanted crowds instead of maintaining the curfew.

Silence breaks at 5 pm
The silence prevailing all over the city broke at 5 pm when people came out of their buildings, emerged on terraces and balconies, or appeared on their windows to clap, bang thalis and bells to thank those engaged in essential services. Several residential complexes saw people gathering for the exercise. Whereas, in high-rises, people followed the directions and stayed inside.
