Even as the 21-day lockdown looks set to be extended, the Centre, in consultation with states, is moving to restart economic activity in a graded manner in what marks a major change of approach in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Spelling out the shift in a video conference with chief ministers on Saturday, PM Modi said while the earlier mantra was “jaan hai to jahan hai (if there is life, you can enjoy the world)”, the way ahead would be guided by “jaan bhi, jahan bhi (life as well as our world)”. He also noted that CMs had suggested extending the lockdown by two weeks.
