Light Candles, Diyas At 9 Pm This Sunday To Mark Coronavirus Fight: Pm Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday has asked Indians under lockdown to mark the country’s fight against the novel coronavirus by turning off all lights at their homes for nine minutes at 9 pm on Sunday (April 5) and standing at balconies and doorsteps with torches, diyas, and candles.

PM Modi said we will experience the superpower of light, clearly illuminating the common purpose we are all fighting for.

“In that light, in that lustre, in that radiance, let us resolve in our minds that we are not alone, that no one is alone.”
