On Thursday, PM Modi has urged all countrymen to switch off their lights for 9 minutes at 9 pm on Sunday and asked them to light diyas, candles or use the flashlight of their mobile phones as a sign of solidarity to combat the novel Coronavirus.

Principal Prof. (Dr.) Atima Sharma Dwivedi averred that from time to time we recognise the strength of 1.3 billion people and that gives us all the citizens of this country the strength to fight against Coronavirus. We also need to take care of the people who are most affected by this crisis the poor, the weaker sections towards hope and light.
