Rs 5-trillion package needed to fight coronavirus pandemic, says Congress

The Congress on Thursday said the first financial action plan of the Narendra Modi government had proved insufficient, and asked it to announce a second financial action plan.
 

The Congress said the government should immediately appoint a task force consisting of world renowned economists to suggest plans. In a statement, the Congress Working Committee said the government needs to raise Rs 5 to 6 trillion to fight the virus and its economic fallout.
