New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the national lockdown will be withdrawn gradually and called upon the states to gear up for the post-corona life.

Speaking to chief ministers during his fifth video-conference after corona pandemic broke out, Modi said the new way of life would be on the principle of “Jan Se lekar Jag Tak” (from an individual to the whole of humanity). The world will henceforward be divided into pre-corona and post-corona in the line of World War, he added.

Dropping enough hints that the lockdown will not be lifted on May 17, the Prime Minister said, “Even as we look at the gradual withdrawal of the lockdown, we should constantly remember that till we do not find a vaccine or a solution, the biggest weapon with us to the fight the virus is social distancing.”

Similarly, referring to tourism sector, the Prime Minister said, “I am of the firm view that the measures needed in the first phase of lockdown were not needed during the second phase and similarly the measures needed in the third phase are not needed in the fourth.”
