India much better than other countries in people-driven fight against COVID-19: Modi



NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that India fared much better compared to some other countries in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The PM made this observation while delivering the inaugural address to mark the 90th birth anniversary celebrations of Reverend Dr. Joseph Mar Thoma Metropolitan.

“Earlier this year, some people had predicted that the impact of the virus in India would be very severe. Due to lockdown, many initiatives have been taken by the Government and in this people-driven fight, India is much better placed than many other nations. India’s recovery rate is rising,” Modi said in his virtual address. He further warned that the time was not apt to “let our guard down”. RSS/ANI
