Wearing a mask and hand gloves, the Chief Minister also interacted with some students at the hostel. “You should tell every relative and friend of yours on the phone to follow the lockdown and practice social distancing. I think we will win this battle against coronavirus in some days,” the Chief Minister told the students.

“With our effort, compared to other nations there is not that much spread of the disease. If we fight for some more days then we will win,” he said.
