He however advised people to maintain social distancing while doing this.

In a video message to the nation, he said that the people have wholeheartedly supported the Lockdown. Many countries have admired these steps by the Indian government. We have to be united in the fight against Corona.

We have to cut through coronavirus pandemic darkness and move to a brighter tomorrow. We have to support the less privileged ones to survive.” He said.
