Just recently, Susanta shared a couple of videos showing how nature is reclaiming its place in the society amid the coronavirus lockdown. In the video that Susanta shared, animals can be seen taking over the streets of cities and towns across the world with people locked inside their homes. In one particular video, an elephant was seen walking down the lanes of a city in India with no sign of humans around.
Almost half the world's population has been placed under complete or partial lockdown with people not allowed to come out of their homes for non-essential works. The lockdown has been imposed to prevent the spread of the deadly virus that has killed over 88,000 people across the globe and has infected over 1.5 million people.
