New Delhi/Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held a video conference meeting with the chief ministers of all states to discuss further strategies for the prevention of COVID-19 infections and ways to ease the countrywide lockdown.
Speaking at the meeting, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said the national lockdown should continue, but important activities should be allowed.
The CM said public gatherings, religious and educational institutions must be completely stopped and urged for economic activities within the states only.
He also urged the Centre to relook to initiate measures to kick-start the economy as “we work together to curb the disease”.
The chief ministers of Meghalaya, Mizoram, Puducherry, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat and Haryana also put forward their views at the meeting on what they want and what should be done in their states.
