Covid | Cricket in Chennai, cycling in Delhi: Crowds emerge as India unlocks

With India in its fourth phase of Unlock following the Covid-induced lockdowns, crowds were seen in metros like Chennai and Delhi.

In Tamil Nadu's capital city, many people were seen at a playground in Thyagaraya Nagar.

Some were playing cricket while others milled about.

However, what was concerning was the conspicuous absence of masks on many faces.

Similar scenes were seen at the India Gate in the national capital, albeit with covered faces.
