He thanked the people of the country for making the third round of lock-down a success. Today, Narendra Modi has made it clear that the fourth phase of lock down is going to start across the country from the 18th of this month to deal with the Corona epidemic.

But that lock down will be different. In this time, the way the people of the country have seen the lock down for so long, this time the fourth point lock down has to be observed in a very different way. But he did not say anything today about exactly how to observe the lock down, only said that the country will be informed before the next 18th May.

Narendra Modi today said that as the lockdown continues, so will continue the development and progress of this country, this time the country's development and progress will not be hampered by the lock down. And that is why he has asked the people of the country to give utmost importance to their self-confidence.

Today, the Prime Minister has mentioned a financial package of 20 lakh crore rupees in this crisis situation of the country.. This package will work in the self-reliant India campaign.

In India, the central government has given concessions on many things in the third phase lock down. Even 15 pairs of trains are going to run from today. International flights may not be launched now, but domestic flights may be launched.Despite Being lock down for a long time, the Corona epidemic situation in India has not yet come under control. On the contrary, the number of victims has started to increase by leaps and bounds. The number of victims tends to double in 11 days.

The good news, however, is that the growth rate of corona infestation has been somewhat controlled, in which case the infestation graph is not as upward as it should have been, or unlike other countries; Not only that, the recovery rate in the country has also increased a lot now.

In the face of the Corona epidemic in the country, the Prime Minister's speech may also have some sayings on how to turn the economy, once again. However, the country is watching today to see if the Prime Minister extends the lock down period in his speech.

Because the Chief Ministers of many states have requested the Prime Minister yesterday to take the lock down further. But now the biggest challenge for the Prime Minister is how to revive the country's economy, even if the term is extended by lock down; Many people think that long term lock down can result in many people becoming unemployed.In today's speech, the countrymen are looking at what Modi is giving them for all this.
