New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on the worsening coronavirus situation in the country this evening.
Here are the top quotes of PM Modi’s address:
- Request states ask migrant workers to remain where they are, assure them that they will be vaccinated where they are and they won’t lose jobs.
- Last time, the situation was different. We didn’t have health infrastructure for fighting the pandemic. We didn’t have test labs, PPE kits, or knowledge about the treatment. But in very little time, we improved ourselves. Doctors have gained expertise and are saving more lives than ever.
- The demand for oxygen has increased in many parts of the country. The centre, the state government, the private sector are trying to make oxygen available to all those who are in need of it. Many steps are being taken in this direction.
- India with two ‘made in India’ vaccines started the world’s largest vaccination program. Till now, more than 12 crore vaccine doses have been administered.
- Second wave has hit like a storm; I feel the pain of healthcare workers…in any situation, we should never lose patience.
