Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar urged citizens of India to follow Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of a 'Janta curfew' on Sunday, March 22, in order to combat the spread of coronavirus. He also appreciated the efforts taken by the authorities to fight the virus.
'Support the Janta curfew'
So far India has done extremely well in combating #coronavirus, but we have a lot to do. Let's respond to the call by Hon PM Shri @narendramodi for people's curfew on March 22. Let's also appreciate the people in essential services who are fighting this war for us.

The spiritual leader also called upon the citizens to appreciate the efforts taken by those in essential services who are fighting the war against him. He also urged those who could take a pay cut to take care of the daily labourers by donating or making endowments. He said that this would help in sharing economic burden equally.
I call upon those who can, to take a pay cut & form endowments together to take care of daily wage workers & low income groups in your areas so that the economic burden is shared by society locally. Let's give the assurance that there is enough humanity to take care of everyone.
