PM Modi says measures will be taken to stop second wave of Corona

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that there was a need of strict measures to stop the second wave of Covid-19 in the country.

Modi is holding a video conference with chief ministers today to assess the Covid-19 situation in the country as well as the vaccination drive amid a spike in active cases that has increased the government’s worry.

PM Modi’s last interaction with chief ministers was in January before the vaccination roll-out. He had announced that the Centre will bear the expenses of vaccinating nearly three crore healthcare and frontline workers in the first round and suggested that public representatives, a reference to politicians, should not be part of this initial exercise.
