Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the 14-hour-long 'Janta Curfew' on Sunday was just the beginning of a long battle against coronavirus outbreak, as he lauded the people for their overwhelming response to his appeal for self-restriction, saying together the countrymen can defeat any challenge.
He also thanked people for expressing gratitude towards those at the forefront of fight against coronavirus.
"Today's Janta Curfew may end at 9.00pm, but this does not mean we start celebrating," he tweeted.
He said that observing the self-imposed curfew should "not be considered as a success"and that "it is the beginning of a long battle."
He said that with this "resolve and patience, let's restrict (social distancing) ourselves as part of this long battle."
