The Prime Minister urged the people to always follow social distancing norms and expressed confidence that the country will be victorious against the pandemic.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had on Wednesday said the prime minister will launch a “jan andolan” campaign to impart information about following Covid-19 protocols especially during the upcoming festival season.

"Let us #Unite2FightCorona! Let us always remember: Wear a mask. Wash hands. Follow social distancing. Practice ‘Do Gaj Ki Doori.’ Together, we will succeed. Together, we will win against COVID-19," Modi said in another tweet.

The “jan andolan” campaign involves putting up of hoardings, wall paintings, electronic display boards in government premises, involvement of local and national influencers to impart Covid-19 awareness, running mobile vans for regular awareness generation and distribution of pamphlets and brochures. It will also involve seeking support of local cable operators for running Covid-19 related messages and the government will launch a coordinated media campaign across platforms for effective outreach.
