Post-Covid Blueprint

On 1st anniversary of Modi 2.0, ministers share how govt is tackling the corona crisis, and the way forward 'Precautions must to stop virus spread'

The Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Prakash Javadekar, said on Saturday that the life of people would go back to normal after Lockdown 4, but everybody will have to take extra precautions to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.

“It is necessary, at this time, that people appreciate and compliment the decisions taken by state governments and local administrations,” Javadekar said during e-Agenda AajTak. He said that the death rate in our country, compared to other virus-hit countries, is much lesser and would be reduced further in the later stages of the pandemic.

The comments came as the Ministry of Home Affairs issued new guidelines for the 5th phase of lockdown which will begin from Monday (June 1). According to the guidelines, all activities outside containment zones will be resume, but in a phased manner. The guidelines will be effective till June 30.
