PM Narendra Modi to hold review meet with CMs today over lockdown extension
NEW DELHI : Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to hold a meeting with chief ministers on Monday to review the nationwide lockdown and steps required to further contain the spread of the covid-19 pandemic.
While most state governments said strict lockdown measures should continue at least in the red zones, where coronavirus cases have been on the rise, some states said the Union government should identify sectors to revive economic activity, especially in rural areas where the winter crop is being harvested.
States also said that restrictions on mass-gatherings in malls, public transport or religious events, should not be relaxed as it could reverse the benefits of the nationwide lockdown to control the pandemic.
