Television actress Divyanka Tripathi's tweet amid the COVID-19 pandemic has come under flak on social media. Divyanka, who is known for her role in "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein", had tweeted: "With such less traffic in Mumbai, it seems like an opportunity to quickly complete Metro, bridges and smooth roads." The actress also shared a video showing how she found no traffic and hopes by the time the coronavirus threat is gone, the metro and road work will be completed as workers can now function without hassles, reports timesofindia.indiatimes.com.

The contention, however, did not go down well with social media users. They found her tweet to be "insensitive" and asked her to delete the tweet. One said: "Those labourers are also human beings. It is an emergency and safety is for everyone." "As if the engineers & construction worker life r not important .. such an vague & unrequired tweet at this moment," wrote another.

Divyanka, Please Note
Madam..lives of workers aren’t important? How they should come for work if entire India is asked to stay at home? They may be daily labour but yet govt won’t allow fathering for work on public projects right ?

We Have a Bigger Concern
*Quickly" is the Key but I doubt if that would happen because that ain't the concern right now and it should not be as well. Better to stay indoors and practice strict hygiene for the betterment of everyone!

Divyanka Tripathi Has a Final Say 'Move On'
We all are humans and susceptible to errors.
In this volatile & violent social media world, important question is: If someone's capable of realizing and apologizing..ARE YOU CAPABLE OF FORGIVING AND MOVING ON?
Should everything be News & point of argument? Where's humanity there?

Third user said: "Please delete this tweet. It looks insensitive. Metro workers labourers are also human beings." One more called the tweet "Insensitive" and asked her to "Delete this tweet".
