The people of India have reacted brilliantly to PM Narendra Modi’s call of maintaining a Janta (public) Curfew on Sunday as a measure to combat the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. PM Modi, on Thursday, addressed the nation on the outbreak.

Mr Modi announced a ‘Janta Curfew’ on Sunday (March 22). In an attempt to contain the spread of coronavirus, which has affected over 300 in India, he  requested all the citizens to abide by the ‘Janata Curfew’ on March 22 from 7 am till 9 pm.

In the 30-minutes television address, the Prime Minister started by highlighting the gravity of the situation – that coronavirus disease Covid-19 has affected more people than the two World Wars. He then talked about what to do during the Janata Curfew.

During the Janata Curfew, people are requested to avoid public spaces and stay home for 14 hours in the view of coronavirus outbreak which has affected over 100 countries across the world.

“On March 22, from 7 am to 9 pm, all countrymen have to follow the Janta Curfew,” PM Narendra Modi said. “All citizens must abide by this.”

The people of India have responded brilliantly to the call. The entire country wears a deserted look as people are staying indoors to break the chain of the virus spreading. And Mike Hesson’s latest tweet just proves that. The former New Zealand coach took to Twitter to post a video of the Marine Drive from Mumbai which is one of the busiest places in the country.

Mike Hesson was so stunned to see the deserted Marine Drive that he could not stop himself from posting a video of the same on Twitter.
