The news of sudden lockdown started spreading like wildfire across the country. The same discussion is everywhere from social media to tea shops – “Will there be a lockdown again?” Some nervousness was also seen among the people.

Government’s appeal: stay away from rumors
Hardeep Puri tweeted and said that spreading such rumors is wrong and it creates an atmosphere of fear among the people. He said that right now everything is normal in the country and there is no need to panic. “Remain calm, show understanding” – this is the clear message of the government.
