KL Rahul reverberates PM Narendra Modi’s call to light up India on April 5

In the wake of the massive coronavirus outbreak, Narendra Modi, the Honourable Prime Minister of India, has been in the thick of things. Last month, he started by announcing a Janata Curfew where he asked the netizens to appreciate the efforts of the doctors.

Then a couple of days later, he put forth the announcement of the 21-day lockdown in the country until April 14 that led to a bit of panic buying. This time around, while the entire country is staying in quarantine, Modi has again come forward to encourage the citizens.

On April 3, he addressed the nation in the morning and had another message to deliver. He said that on Sunday, April 5, the people should again be expressing gratitude to the ones, who have been working by the clock to mitigate the damage of COVID-19.

In order to do so, he asked them to switch off their lights at their homes and light candles in their balcony for nine minutes. The call has conjured support from a number of people, including some big personalities. From the cricket fraternity, Ravi Shastri and Harbhajan Singh supported it.
