A strange phenomenon can be observed while glancing over the overall national picture of the Covid-19 pandemic at this late hour of the lockdown. As the  officially stated tenure draws towards an end, the number of additions in cases and casualties are showing very little chances of ebbing away. Quite proportionally, this has exerted a disturbing effect on the minds of a greater part of the common people and is showing some unhealthy ways of oozing out. The much-used phrase "Fear is the key" will perhaps fit to the context and these bouts of fear have taken a new direction and unsurprisingly, the returnees are at the receiving end. These 'eruptions' are taking place almost all across the country and lamentably, Arunachal Pradesh has also included its name. If the recent detection of a positive case in a returnee has disrupted the month-old calm enjoyed due to the Covid-free status,  the  painstakingly built confidence of the state is now on the verge of getting diluted due to the strange behavioral pattern of a certain section of the citizens and the route is the social media platform. This has to be confronted right now and in absence of suo moto responsibilities, the 'long arm of the law' is perhaps the only option left.
