New Delhi (NVI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 10 AM tomorrow, April 14, when the 21-day nationwide lockdown ends.
All eyes are on PM Modi as he is expected to make an announcement on the lockdown and possibly, its further extension by two more weeks.
Speculations are rife that the Central Government may extend the lockdown till April 30. In an interaction with PM Modi through video conferencing on Saturday, the Chief Minister of various states had made a suggestion in this regard.
Several chief ministers, including Punjab’s Amarinder Singh and Delhi’s Arvind Kejriwal, had suggested extending the lockdown at least by a fortnight.
At least six states — Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, West Bengal, Karnataka and Telangana — have already announced an extension.
The announcement for a 21-day lockdown, which ends tomorrow, was made by the PM on March 24.
Meanwhile, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in India crossed the 9,000-mark on Monday, while the death toll climbed to 308.
