PM Modi on Thursday had appealed to all the citizens of India to switch off the lights of their homes and light candles, torches or flashlights for nine minutes at 9 PM on Sunday to show solidarity to everyone fighting the COVID-19 pandemic at the frontline.
“We must all go through this darkness together. Those who are most affected by this are the poor and marginalised. To overcome this darkness, we must all unite to spread the light. Make this darkness of Coronavirus meet the light we all spread,” Modi had said on the 10th day of the 21-day nationwide lockdown.
