Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 8 p.m. on May 12, a day after he interacted with top ministers on ways to deal with the spread of the coronavirus and also boost economic activity, the Prime Minister’s Office said.
This will be the Prime Minister’s fifth address to the nation, including a video message, following the COVID-19 outbreak.
Government sources indicated that the Prime Minister is likely to speak on issues related to the blockade and the economy.
“Shri @narendramodi will address the nation at 8 PM tonight,” the PMO said on Twitter.
He last addressed the nation on April 14.
In his virtual meeting with chief ministers on May 11, Mr. Modi said the challenges were twofold: reducing the transmission rate of the new coronavirus and gradually increasing public activities while meeting all the guidelines.
The Center and States will have to work to achieve the twin goals, he said.
In his March 19 speech, the Prime Minister announced a “blackjack curfew” on March 22. On March 24, it announced a 21-day national shutdown. On April 14, he extended the closing period to May 3. On April 3, in a video message, Modi asked the nation to light lamps for the frontline crown warriors on April 5.
The closure lasted until May 17 by the Ministry of the Interior.
