‘Janata Curfew’, an idea proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi where people of the country imposed a curfew on themselves, is now proved to be a big hit across the country. A gesture of clapping and ringing bells particularly has been a huge success.
People came out of their homes and started clapping along with their neighbors. The gesture was aimed at showing gratitude towards the community of people who are working relentlessly in dealing with the novel COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in the country. People thanked the medical fraternity, the police, the dairy shops, vegetable vendors, the banking sector and the public transport community.
While the general public expressed the positive vibes of the gesture on social media, celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar, Sara Ali Khan, Varun Dhawan, Ranveer Singh, Kangana Ranaut, etc. too contributed to the movement by tweeting their videos out.
