As reported by The Hindu, PM Modi had a meeting with the chief ministers of the country earlier this week and urged them to extend the lockdown by at least a fortnight.
And since then, many states including Telangana, Maharashtra, Odisha and West Bengal have already extended the lockdown till April 30.
PM has taken correct decision to extend lockdown. Today, India’s position is better than many developed countries because we started lockdown early. If it is stopped now, all gains would be lost. To consolidate, it is imp to extend it

There have been a lot of speculations that PM Modi might extend the country-wide lockdown, given the fact that the numbers of COVID-19 positive cases are rising at an alarming rate.
As of now, the number of cases in India has reached 9,152, however, 856 of them have already recovered from it. The death toll, however, stands at 308. We hope PM Modi comes up with an infallible plan that will help us eradicate the virus completely from the country. Let’s hope for the best.
