What did the Prime Minister say at the meeting?

By A Staff Reporter : Prime Minister Narendra Modi did a virtual meeting with the Chief Ministers. He said, ''Despite managing the COVID crisis well as compared to other countries, we can see cases' uptick in states now. We have to stay alert. It is clear that the COVID challenge has yet not been surpassed. It is a matter of pride for every citizen that 96% of our adult population has been vaccinated with the first dose of the vaccine and 85 % of the eligible population above 15 years of age inoculated with the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. I urge all states to get safety audits of all hospitals done on a priority basis to prevent fire incidents which have been increasing amid heatwave. Our response time should also be minimal.''
