Lockdown extension: PM Modi's meeting with parties hold answer
NEW DELHI : In what may hold many answers to possibility of an extension of the ongoing nationwide lockdown, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is holding a meeting with Parliamentary floor leaders of different parties this Wednesday morning.
However, there is unlikely to be any immediate announcement, before April 11, say sources. The meeting started at 11 a.m. through video conferencing, to decide the future course of action as far as coronavirus outbreak in India is concerned, among other key issues.
The primary point on the agenda remains whether to end the lockdown or extend it and if the government wishes to withdraw it, what should be the approach.
