Modi: Light lamps to show solidarity in fight against Covid

At 9pm on Sun, the light will show we are together: Modi 

After clapping and beating of utensils, now it is time to light up lamps to “show solidarity in the fight against Covid-19”. Light candles, diyas and mobile torches at 9 pm this Sunday for nine minutes to energise self and the country to wage a decisive fight against coronavirus, says Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“This Sunday on April 5, we have to challenge coronavirus. I need your nine minutes at 9 pm. Switch off the lights of your house. Light up a candle, lamp or use the mobile torch. This light will show that we are together in this battle,” said the Prime Minister in a nationwide address this morning.

He asserted no one must gather on roads. “The only way to break the chain of coronavirus is to maintain social distancing,” he said. Modi said amid the nationwide lockdown to fight coronavirus, none should feel alone, the massive collective power of 130 crore people is with everyone.

Since the outbreak of coronavirus, Modi has been giving tips to the citizens to cope with the situations emerging from the lockdown, in force since midnight March 25.

The PM’s message came a day after he held a meeting with the Chief Ministers and asked them to “formulate a common exit strategy to ensure staggered re-emergence of the population once the lockdown ends” on April 14.

Modi stated that many were worried about how many days this will continue, PM Modi said, “While this is a lockdown, don’t think you are alone in this process. We are all together in this,” he said thanking the people for their cooperation.

The Prime Minister thanked the States for supporting the decision of lockdown due to which India has achieved some success in limiting the spread of COVID-19. He praised how all the States have worked together as a team to check the spread of the virus. He, however, forewarned that the global situation remains far from satisfactory and informed about speculation of a possible second wave of spread of the virus in some countries.

Modi outlined that the common goal for the country is to ensure minimum loss of life. In the next few weeks, testing, tracing, isolation and quarantine should remain the areas of focus, he said a day before.
