New Delhi (NVI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said that there is a sufficient stock of essential commodities in the country like food and medicines and no one should worry about the extended lockdown.
The assurance by Home Minister came just after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the extension of lockdown till May 3 in view of the coronavirus situation in the country.
“As the home minister of the country, I assure the people again that there is enough stock of food, medicines and other commodities in the country. No citizen should worry about that,” Shah said.
देश के गृह मंत्री के नाते मैं जनता को पुनः आश्वस्त करता हूँ कि देश में अन्न, दवाई व अन्य रोजमर्रा की चीज़ों का प्रयाप्त भण्डार है, इसलिए किसी भी नागरिक को परेशान होने की आवश्यकता नहीं है। साथ ही संपन्न लोगों से निवेदन करता हूँ कि आप आगे आकर आसपास रहने वाले गरीबों की सहायता करें।
