Lockdown, Day 25: India's toll nears 500-mark With the country's case count dangerously close to the 15,000-mark, India is slowly getting ready to restart business. From Monday, select services will resume in parts of the country, although which parts will be allowed to get back to work remains to be decided. In another major development, Air India has started accepting bookings for select domestic flights from May 4, renewing hope of lockdown ending once and for all on May 3.
