"BE ONE, BE SAFE, BE IN PRECAUTION!”
The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi officially addressed the nation on Thursday, March 19, 2020, concerning the Coronavirus pandemic and it seems Bollywood stars have approved of his ‘janta curfew’.
PM Modi appealed to the citizens of the country to observe a self-curfew known as the junta curfew.
This concept will be put into action from March 22, 2020. It will act as part of a trial run to test social isolation.
This decision has come to as a means of preventing the spread of the Coronavirus.
PM Modi has requested religious and political leaders as well as popular celebrities to share the idea with their fans.
Soon after, Bollywood stars lent their support to PM Modi’s initiative. These include celebrities like Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar who urged their fans and followers to observe the curfew.
Actor Ajay Devgn took to Twitter to share PM Modi’s message. He wrote:
“Fellow Indians, Namaskar. A short while ago, Our PM Saab, Modiji, requested all of us to show resolve & restraint in the face of COVID-19.
“Please also adhere to the Janta Curfew on 22nd March by staying home. Stay safe.”

Unfortunately, the Coronavirus has caused panic, disruption and uncertainty concerning health conditions, daily life and income.
The virus, which originated from Wuhan, China has spread across the world.
Globally, the Coronavirus has claimed more than 8,000 lives including infecting 173 people in India and killing 4.
Precaution methods must be adhered to, in this instance, the janta curfew must be adopted by the civilians in India to prevent more cases.
