Would urge states to popularise night curfew as corona curfew: PM Modi

NEW DELHI: In his address to the CMs while holding a meeting over the surging Covid cases, PM Modi called on states enforcing

night curfew

to popularise it as "Covid curfew".


"I urge states that are enforcing night curfew to popularise it as Covid curfew so that people remain aware about coronavirus," said PM Modi.

"There is an intellectual debate that goes on like does

corona

come in night? The truth is that the world has accepted this experiment of night curfew. It is so because the curfew time reminds everyone that they are living in the era of coronavirus," said PM Modi.

PM Modi's remark comes amid criticism over the efficacy of the night curfew amid rise in cases across states.

"

Corona curfew

is helping (governments) educate people and make them aware of the coronavirus," said PM Modi.
