NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the 65th edition of his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat‘, the final day of the fourth phase of nationwide lockdown. Incidentally, the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ address comes a day after the one-year anniversary of the second term of the Modi government.
Here are the highlights:
Our Mann Ki Baat too has not remained untouched by the effect of Corona: PM Modi
The last time I spoke to you through ‘Mann Ki Baat’, passenger train services, buses and flights had come to a standstill. This time around much has resumed-Shramik special trains are operational; other special trains too have begun. With utmost precautions, flights have resumed; industry too is returning to normalcy; thus, opening up a major segment of the economy. In such a scenario, we need to be even more alert and careful: PM Modi
A major chunk of the economy is active now. There should be no laxity in maintaining six feet distance (do gaj doori), wearing masks & staying indoors as much as possible. We need to be more vigilant now. Due to everyone’s support, fight against Covid-19 is being fought strongly: PM Modi
The challenges facing the country too are of a different kind, yet Corona did not spread as fast as it did in other countries of the world: PM Modi
There are many people who are conveying their efforts (against coronavirus) to me through the NAMO app and other media: PM Modi
Noting how people are contributing in the fight against coronavirus, PM Modi appreciated the efforts made by citizens like KC Mohan from Madurai; Gautam Das from Agartala; Divyang Raju from Pathankot, P
