Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said on Monday said that the 300 districts across the country where no Covid-19 case has been reported “should be treated as tirtha sthaan” or sacred places.
The Prime Minister had said during his interaction with chief ministers that state governments should ensure that precautions like maintaining safe distance should not be abandoned in these districts.
He had said there is a need to expand green zones like these districts because in the coming days, what happens in these areas will “pave the way for our lives in the future”.
