“…if cities are recognised as complex, changing sites, lockdown policies can end up being more inclusive, accounting for job precarity of #informal workers and the transient nature of migrant homes”, @Jasmitha5 and @vinitagrajan write for @scroll_in #IIHSin

The economist Jeffrey Hammer has collaborated with sociologists, videographers, and data visualizers on a unique site to better understand the nature of poverty and inequality in India, and how it is measured: https://t.co/bVMnnPYLgG

We mapped govt identified #COVID19 hotspots in #Hyderabad, with 1-2 KM buffer zones, and bastis. The critical areas seem to be Malakpet-Santosh Nagar, Gajularamaram-Quthbullapur and Yousufguda. Give extra attention and care to info and requests from these areas. #CovidLockdown
