Stadium in northern India converted into "temporary jail" for lockdown violators
A cricket stadium and a sports complex in Chandigarh, India have been converted into temporary jails for those who violate lockdown conditions.

"We round up people we find loitering on the street who are violating the lockdown conditions and bring them to the jail to brief them about social distancing, we provide them with food and tell them about proper sanitization, and they are let go by evening," said Chandrajit Singh, Chandigarh Police's public relations officer.
[...]
"We don't file official charges against these violators, but if there are repeat offenders then action might be taken against them," Singh said. The jails will be operational as long as lockdown conditions are in place, he added.
The Indian city of Haryana has set up shelters for migrant workers in government buildings and private properties offered by social organizations.
[...]
Haryana police say they have persuaded migrants attempting to leave the state to move into these shelter homes, and that they are facilitating the distribution of food, medicines and other essential items to almost 500,000 workers.
