Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Medi has instructed all ministers to make plans on a war footing to minimize the economic impact of Karenavirus. He said that this crisis has brought us an opportunity to promote ‘Make in India’ and reduce dependence on other countries. He took a cabinet meeting through video conferencing.
