From March 15, Maharashtra's Nagpur entered a hard lockdown amid a spike in Covid-19 infections.
The situation is becoming more serious in some other parts of the country as well.
As India is hit by what many are calling the second wave of infections, is the country staring at the possibility of another lockdown as seen in the early months of 2020?
If so, what are the steps that can be taken to avoid such a scenario?

NBC reports that declining numbers left

officers, which resulted in slower response times.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
According to Wexler, law enforcement , "isn't out of the woods yet.".
At least a dozen smaller police departments in
the nation have been forced to disband, leaving those
municipalities reliant upon state or county police forces.
NBC reports that in addition to increased pay and
benefits, many police departments have chosen to
change application requirements to increase hiring
