PM: People Are Not Taking Lockdown Seriously!

PM Narendra Modi on Monday appealed to state governments to make sure that rules and regulations of the COVID-19 lockdown are enforced as he noted that many people are not taking the measures seriously.

"Many people are still not taking the lockdown seriously. Please save yourself, save your family, follow the instructions seriously. I request state governments to ensure rules and laws are followed," he said in a tweet in Hindi.

लॉकडाउन को अभी भी कई लोग गंभीरता से नहीं ले रहे हैं। कृपया करके अपने आप को बचाएं, अपने परिवार को बचाएं, निर्देशों का गंभीरता से पालन करें। राज्य सरकारों से मेरा अनुरोध है कि वो नियमों और कानूनों का पालन करवाएं।

The Central and state governments have decided to completely lock down 80 districts across the nation where COVID-19 cases have been reported.

UP, Punjab, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala announced lockdown in many districts. Delhi will be locked down from 6 am on March 23 till midnight on March 31.

People are endangering each other’s life by neglecting the norm. Recently at Patna, people in large numbers were traveling atop buses due to cancellation of passenger trains by Indian Railways and lockdown announced by the Bihar government.
