Restricted movement of transport and human activities did have some positive environmental impacts.

A rare civet cat was found on the roads in Kerala’s Kozhikode. Similarly, the Himalayas could be seen from Punjab’s Jalandhar, almost 230 kilometres away: A rare sight witnessed after four decades due to reduced pollution.

Water from the polluted Ganga was reportedly suitable for direct consumption in a few areas. Wild elephants paraded on the narrow roads amid coffee estates in Karnataka’s Kodagu district.
