NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday thanked the countrymen for showing “unprecedented discipline” and “sense of service” by following the COVID-19 lockdown.
“My dear countrymen, this is the 9th day of nationwide lockdown against corona global epidemic today. During this time, all of you showed precedented discipline and a sense of service. That’s phenomenal,” said Prime Minister Modi in a video message to the nation.
He expressed gratitude towards countrymen for participating in ‘Janata curfew’ on March 22 and said it has become “an example for all countries” today as they are following it.
