In his address today, the Prime Minister is likely to talk about the 'Jan Se Jag Tak' (from individual to world), which he discussed during his meeting with chief ministers yesterday. During this meeting, PM Modi had said that the world has acknowledged India's efforts in containing the spread of coronavirus and the states had played a crucial role in this regard. He also emphasised on the need to keep the virus from reaching rural regions, as migrants and stranded workers are being ferried back to their homes in Shramik special trains.

PM Modi is likely to address the concerns raised by states during the meeting yesterday. States, including Punjab, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, had called for an extension of lockdown during the PM-CM meeting. Chief ministers also called for more autonomy to states in deciding the future course of lockdown. "States face different challenges and therefore should be given the freedom to make reasonable changes to the guidelines relating to the lockdown," Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan said.
