The Prime Minister also cautioned citizens against
hoarding and panic-buying, assuring that there would be no shortage of
essentials like milk, medicines and food.
PM Modi said, "Under this Janata (public) curfew, no
one should leave their home or gather in their neighbourhoods. Only those
related to essential services should go out".
The Prime Minister suggested that the one-day exercise
would help people get used to self-isolating. Stay home unless absolutely
essential in the next few weeks, he said, urging determination and restraint.
PM requested all citizens to applaud the services
extended by airlines’ staff, the cleanliness staff, those who deliver food,
those who drive railways, bus or autorickshaws, government officials, policemen
and the media. Terming them as ‘Rashtra Rakshaks’, PM Modi said that the
country was indebted to their services. PM Modi urged citizens to stand in the
balconies at 5 PM on 22nd March and clap for five minutes to express gratitude
to such people.
Schools, colleges, theatres, malls and shopping areas
have been shut down in large parts of the country. Religious gatherings and
weddings have been put off.
