PM Modi asks states to give blueprint for lockdown exit
New Delhi: India will further open up its economy with riders when it enters the fourth phase of national lockdown starting 18 May for which Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday asked state chief ministers to give a strategy by Friday.
At a video-conference to decide on the lockdown exit strategy, Modi told chief ministers that the restrictions that are currently in place during the third phase of the lockdown ending 17 May will not be required in the next phase. “I am of the firm view that the measures needed in the first phase of lockdown were not needed during the second phase and similarly the measures needed in the third phase are not needed in the fourth," an official statement said quoting Modi.
