Monday Review: Tricity this week.In the 64th edition of Monday Review, the weekly home update from Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Mohali, watch what happened when the monsoon gained pace. Traffic jammed, roads were flooded, and bridges broke. This was Chandigarh after 18.6 millimetre rain early on in the week. A city craving for respite from heat and humidity was left sated and inundated. Bikes under water and boats on land. It was also quite a scene. The railway underbridge became divers' platform, while Zirakpur came to its knees, wading at that depth. Its roads caved in and the town's claims of unclogged drains were drowned. In Ambala, the poor mayor's reputation also sank. While the government schools of Chandigarh reopened from July 19 after parents’ mandatory authorization, the private campuses remain closed, since a section of the parents wants to wait until all the children are vaccinated. That's a long shot, given that just the permission for clinical trials on children has come only a few days ago. Almost 80% of adult Chandigarh has Covid antibodies, reveals the serosurvey, and urban areas march ahead of rural. That, last week, was also said for 60% of the city's children. Will statistics be any guarantee against infection remains to be seen but it lifts the morale for sure. Experts say the city is just short of herd immunity and the next wave may be manageable. While people wonder how's that possible in a place with so much of floating population, doctors are also not recommending that we let down our guard. Vaccination doesn't mean 100% immunity against the virus. Once bitten, twice shy after the July 6 violence, the cops prevented Punjab’s jobless teachers from storming into the city. And how? By holding aloft banners warning them of Section 144 in force and by laying barbed wires over the metal barricadess. Two weeks ago, police had to use water cannon, tear gas and lathicharge.
