Lockdown, Day 34: What after May 3?
PM Modi today had a video meet with chief
ministers to discuss the way forward for India beyond the May 3 lockdown
deadline. Another extension of a complete lockdown may be out of the
cards, but virus hotspots will, in all likelihood,
remain shut.
The RBI today announced Rs 50,000-crore liquidity support for MFs
following Franklin Templeton’s shock closure of six debt funds that
threatened to trigger a chain reaction.
India reported 1,396 cases in the past 24 hours, taking the total case
count to 28,380. Almost 900 people have died in the country so far.
