Tamil Nadu came to a virtual standstill on Sunday with roads, bus stands and railway stations being deserted as people observed 'Janta Curfew' proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help prevent spread of coronavirus even as the State government extended it till 5 am tomorrow.

While the support of people, traders, industries and other sections of the society was visible on Sunday, the government acknowledged their "cooperation," and said the curfew scheduled to end at 9 pm on Sunday "will continue till 5 am tomorrow considering people's welfare."
