PM-CMs meet on COVID-19: Broad consensus emerges on extending lockdown by two more weeks
Coronavirus (COVID-19): The meeting between PM Narendra Modi and Chief Ministers comes two days before the end of a 21-day lockdown period that PM Modi had first announced on March 24.
A broad consensus on the extension of the lockdown emerged out of a four hour, ten- minute meeting between PM Narendra Modi and CMs of states from across the country on COVID-19. It is learnt that the present lockdown will be continued for at least two more weeks, and even then not entirely lifted, but a staggered exit strategy will be put in place, depending on circumstances prevalent at the time. This comes after a vast majority of the states that spoke at the meeting, 15 in all it is learnt, leant towards the extension of the lockdown. Government sources said that the PM emphasized in the meeting that “Jaan hai toh Jahaan hai”(When there is life, there will be livelihood.”
