Following the nationwide lockdown on August 11, many people are stranded in various parts of the country because of restrictions on vehicle movement.

Many had come for a day or two for their personal work, to attend a cremation, sports matches, and job interviews, among other reasons.

Some have no place to stay while others are stuck in hotels and many are staying with relatives.

Many people complained that while they tried to get help, they either could not reach the right people or were asked to call various numbers without any solution. Some even complained of concerned authorities allowing travel to a few selected people.

One of the stranded persons in Thimphu said that expecting lockdown would lift in two days, he put up with his relatives but now with more positive cases, he was worried.
