Schools, colleges, malls, theatres have been shut for a couple of days now to put a brake on the further outspread of the disease. Now, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the fans to stay away from venturing out on March 22, 2020, from 7.00 am to 9.00 pm. The campaign is called as Janata Curfew and many have lauded the movement and this also included cricketers like KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yaadav, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravichandran Ashwin and others.
