PM calls for Janta Curfew, urges people to stay indoors

New Delhi  :Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday
made a fervent appeal to all Indians to stay indoors as much as possible
to avoid getting infected by coronavirus, saying the world has never
seen a danger as grave as this.
He called for ‘Janta curfew’ on March 22 from 7 am-9 pm, saying
no citizen, barring those in essential services, should get out of house.
“Even World War I and II did not affect as many countries as coronavirus
has done,” Modi said in a national broadcast.
Asking people to sacrifice “some weeks of yours, some time of yours”,
Modi said given that coronavirus has no cure yet, the only way to
stay safe is to stay indoors.
“I request all people in country to get out of house only when
it is extremely necessary, try and do all work from home,” he said.
