New Delhi, Mar 23: Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, on Monday appealed to State Governments to ensure that rules and regulations of the coronavirus lockdown are enforced as he noted that many people were not taking the measure seriously.
“Many people are still not taking the lockdown seriously. Please save yourself, save your family, follow the instructions seriously. I request state governments to ensure rules and laws are followed,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
Soon after PM Modi’s tweet the Central Government has asked state governments to take strict action against violators of the Coronavirus lockdown being enforced in 80 districts across the country.
An official statement released on Monday said there will be a total lockdown in 80 districts where Coronavirus cases have been reported. The shutdown will end on March 31.
Delhi’s borders will remain sealed during the lockdown, but essential services related to health, food, water and power supply will continue, and 25 per cent of the DTC buses will run to transport people associated with essential services.
