PM Narendra Modi’s address to the nation comes at a time when Covid cases are seeing a downward trend in the country
PM Narendra Modi will address the nation at 5 pm today. The Prime Minister’s address comes at a time when Covid cases are seeing a downward trend in the country after a deadly second wave in April-May.
It is very likely that the Prime Minister will speak on the prevailing coronavirus situation in the country as many states have started the process of unlocking starting from today.
“Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi will address the nation at 5 PM today, 7th June,” the Prime Minister’s Office said on Twitter.

States including Maharashtra and Delhi have announced cautious steps towards restarting activities in phases.
In Mumbai, the country’s financial capital, restaurants, shops selling non-essential items and public places are set to reopen from Monday but malls, theatres and multiplexes will continue to remain shut as the metropolis has been categorised under level 3 of the ‘unlock’ plan.
However, the national capital, which began the unlock exercise from May 31 will see further easing of restrictions from today, with the government allowing resumption of metro services at 50 percent capacity and reopening of markets and malls on an odd-even basis.
Officials said teams of police and district administration have been deployed across the city to enforce COVID-appropriate behaviour.
