    For a newspaper which claims that it is India's National Newspaper, it is strange that it refers to the lockdown in Tamil Nadu only.

      Sorry Col, I didn't see the blog since last night.
      I see the def. in wordweb for "passible" as below:
      "Susceptible of feeling or suffering, or of impressions from external agents"
      Further, Freedictionary gives the same HP for both Passable and Passible

      Delete
    6. Col_Gopinath12 June 2021 at 08:15

      Okay the HP is Passible. Answer remains as Passable. Will correct it.
