New Delhi, Apr 10 (IANS): Acknowledging that some states have already extended the shutdown beyond April 14 to contain coronavirus, Union Information & Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar on Friday said: "These are only some ways we can win this battle. We realize that if we have to get ready for another 15 days, we need to be prepared. We will need volunteers".

Javadekar's remarks hinting at exteding the lockdown period beyond April 14 came during a Facebook live address to Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Pune.

He said, Prime Minister Modi is regularly reviewing the situation to decide the future course of action.

"When the Prime Minister warned us about this disease, we too didn't believe it. Let me be truthful to you," conceded Javadekar. But faced with a new reality, he reiterated the need to practise strict social distancing and personal hygiene.

He said PM Modi's initiative has resulted in 30 companies being readied in India to manufacture PPE (personal protection equipment) kits.

The Minister said the success of 'Janata curfew' was a proof of the PM's credibility.

    Once again weak and hapless are taking the brunt
    Rich are hiding in large open places with facilities
    What were we praying for all these years
    Don’t you think this is celestial partiality?

    Where are our Politicians from top to bottom?
    Haven't seen any MP's and MLA's doing any voluntary work?

    All we see is, mostly the common poor and middle class men and women coordinating and serving the poor and migrants.

    They have forgotten the people who voted for them.

    Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on evening announced the formation of a volunteers' force to help official institutions in fight the COVID-19 spread.

    The 'Corona Relief Tiger Force' has already registered more than 7 lakh volunteers already on field service with government officials distributing the relief while India is clapping and searching 'Corona virus' under the candle light.

    Where are the so called 'social organisation' RSS? Where are the self proclaimed 'nationalist' has gone?
    Is this time of crisis the nation is not importance or the social media to blame 'Tablig Jamat'?

    I salute to those individuals risking there life across India at this hour helping the needy.
    Jai Hind
