New Delhi/NITN: Ahead of the "Janata Curfew" which will be effective on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged people to refrain from travelling.
In a couple of tweets, Modi said, "Lots of my brothers and sisters are leaving cities where they work and travelling to their villages out of Coronavirus scare. The chances of spreading of the virus enhances with travelling in a crowd. Your travel will be a threat to the people of the villages where you are travelling to. Your village and family will be in more trouble."
"I pray to you that you be in the city where you are now for few days. This will help us to stop the spread of the virus..... Please think about yourself and your family. Do not travel if there is no urgency," tweeted the Prime Minister.
मेरी सबसे प्रार्थना है कि आप जिस शहर में हैं, कृपया कुछ दिन वहीं रहिए। इससे हम सब इस बीमारी को फैलने से रोक सकते हैं। रेलवे स्टेशनों, बस अड्डों पर भीड़ लगाकर हम अपनी सेहत के साथ खिलवाड़ कर रहे हैं। कृपया अपनी और अपने परिवार की चिंता करिए, आवश्यक न हो तो अपने घर से बाहर न निकलिए।
