PM Modi to address nation on Tuesday, extension of lockdown likely

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation on Tuesday at 10 am, the Prime Minister's Office said. The 21-day nationwide lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus ends on Tuesday and the prime minister is likely to talk about its possible extension.

"Prime Minister @narendramodi will address the nation at 10 AM on 14th April 2020," the PMO tweeted. Last month, the prime minister had addressed the nation twice -- on March 19 and March 24.

The prime minister is also likely to announce plans to revive the Indian economy which has been badly hit by the lockdown.
