On the eve of Vijayadashami, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation in 'Mann Ki Baat' and appealed to people to celebrate the festivals with restraint due to the pandemic.

During the address, Modi said, earlier people used to gather in large numbers in Durga pandals, which looked like a fair. But, we cannot celebrate the festivals as usual. As more festivals are to be celebrated, we need to maintain low celebrations.

He batted for Vocal for local and urged the public to purchase local goods from markets.

Talking further, the PM said we should remember our brave soldiers who are guarding our borders. He urged people to light a lamp for the brave sons and daughters of the country.

Narendra Modi wished everyone on the occasion and appealed to follow the Covid-19 protocols while celebrating the festivals like wearing facemasks, washing hands, and maintain two yards distance.

The Prime Minister lauded the efforts of Sanitisation workers, housekeepers, and guards who extended their services during the pandemic times and urged people to take care of them.
