    Prime Miniter Narendra Modi today (October 21) expressed his gratitude to police personnel and their families all across India. He also paid his tributes to all the police personnel martyred in the line of duty. He further said that their sacrifice and service would always be remembered.

    “Police Commemoration Day is about expressing gratitude to our police personnel and their families all across India. We pay tributes to all the police personnel martyred in the line of duty. Their sacrifice and service would always be remembered,” PM Modi wrote on Twitter. From preserving law and order to solving horrendous crimes, from assistance in disaster management to fighting COVID-19, our police personnel always give their best without hesitation. We are proud of their diligence and readiness to assist citizens.

  • Don’t be complacent, need to be cautious till COVID-19 vaccine is out, says PM

    Narendra Modi to address nation LATEST Updatess:Addressing the nation over Covid-19 crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday said that the lockdown may have been lifted in the country but warned saying that the “virus is still out there”Voicing the same concerns as the PM with the festive season approaching, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said, “As rightly advised by the Prime Minister in his address to the nation today, I appeal to every Indian to not lower the guard in the fight against #COVID19 during the upcoming festive season.” Reacting to Narendra Modi’s speech, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said the Prime Minister has made it clear that we cannot afford laxity till a vaccine for coronavirus is found. “The PM’s message was like that of a head of the family.

  • Modi’s bland TV address leaves Twitter heaving a sigh of relief

    When Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Twitter just past 1 pm that he would conduct a televised address to the nation at 6 pm, he set off a now-familiar series of wisecracks on social media.

    Ever since he made a sudden appearance on television on November 8, 2016, to declare that 86% of India’s currency notes would become invalid overnight, Modi’s speeches have been viewed with anxiety. On March 24, Modi made a televised speech, again at 8 pm, to announce that a three-week nationwide lockdown would go into effect from midnight in an attempt to control the spread of the coronavirus. That sent people across India scurrying into markets to buy essential items before the restrictions kicked in.

    As it turns out, Modi’s speech on Tuesday did not contain any surprises. Unlike some of his previous, lengthy addresses, this one lasted only 12 minutes. The prime minister urged Indians to continue to be cautious about the virus during the festive season, quoting Kabir and the Ramcharitmanas to drive home his message.

    He noted that India was doing better than many other countries but noted that even slight carelessness can sabotage India’s progress. “Going through a difficult time, we are moving forward, a little carelessness can stop our movement and spoil our happiness,” he says. “Taking care of responsibilities and vigilance will go hand in hand, only then will happiness remain in life.”

    The absence of anything significant in Modi’s address was, of course, grist for meme makers.

  • Lockdown may have gone, virus has not gone: PM Modi

     In the midst of the corona epidemic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi (PM Narendra Modi) is sending a message to the nation at 6 pm today. PM Modi tweeted this information on Tuesday afternoon. PM Modi said that, “From the Janata curfew against Corona till today all of us Indians have come a long way. Economic activity is also slowly increasing over time. ” He said, “Most of us are stepping out of our homes every day to fulfill our responsibilities, to speed up life again.” This season of festivals is also slowly returning to the markets. ”

    Many people have stopped taking precautions now. This is not right. If you are careless, walking out without a mask, then you are putting yourself, your family, your family’s children, the elderly in as much trouble.

    Following the mantra of Seva Parmo Dharma: Our doctors, nurses, health workers are selflessly serving such a large population. Amidst all these efforts, this is not the time to be careless. This is not the time to assume that the corona is gone, or that there is no danger from the corona now.

    Today the recovery rate in the country is good, Fatality Rate is low. India is succeeding in saving the lives of more and more of its citizens than the resource-rich countries of the world. The increasing number of tests has been a major strength in the fight against the Kovid epidemic.
