PM Modi hails healthcare professionals at 8pm address, calls for Janta curfew on Sunday 22nd March
New Delhi: Hailing the healthcare professionals as brave soldiers standing between the deadly Corona virus and the Indian population, the Prime Minister Modi on this 8 pm address announced a self imposed janta curfew from 7 am to 9 pm on Monday 22nd March 2020.
He further appealed to the general public to come out to their doors and balconies and clap ring bells on 5 pm on the Janta Curfew day to show their appreciation to the medical fraternity for all their efforts. Obviously, the self imposed curfew will not be applicable to healthcare profession and other essential services who are going to perform their duties as usual.
" Doctors, nurses, hospital staff, airline crews, police, media, railways, home delivery services have all been serving the country without worrying about themselves...The country is indebted to these people who are serving the nation in difficult times. On March 22 I want us to thank these people. At 5 pm on Sunday, we will thank people serving the nation by clapping hands, ringing bells," the PM said.
