No Space For Complacency On Covid, PM Modi Tells New Ministers In Meet

Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to visuals of crowding and said this should instil a sense of fear in us

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today told the council of ministers that there is no space for complacency as far as the Covid situation in the country is concerned and told his ministers to request people to keep taking precautions. Interacting with the ministers the day after a mega cabinet reshuffle, the Prime Minister referred to visuals of crowding and people roaming around without masks and said this is not a pleasant sight and should instil a sense of fear in us, according to sources. The Prime Minister said that owing to the efforts of Covid warriors and frontline workers, the country's fight against the pandemic is underway with full vigour. "We are steadily vaccinating substantial numbers of our nation's population. Testing is also consistently high," he said. "At such a time, there should be no space for carelessness or complacency. A single mistake would have far-reaching impacts and weaken the fight to overcome COVID-19," the Prime Minister added.
