Lockdown searches surge online as PM Modi compares fuel crisis to COVID-19-like situation

Searches for lockdown spiked on Tuesday, driven by memories of 2020 lockdown due to COVID-19 announced by PM Narendra Modi and current global tensions amid Iran-US-Israel conflict. The surge also followed PM Modi drawing parallels between pandemic and the ongoing fuel crisis due to war. He said, "We've faced many...challenges during COVID-19...now we must be ready to face them again."
