Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, "PM has taken the right decision to extend the lock down. Today, the situation in India is better than many developed countries because we started the lockdown early. If it is stopped now, then the gains made so far will end. So it is very important to extend the lock down period. "However, no announcement has been made by the Central Government regarding the lock down so far.

On Saturday, PM Narendra Modi had a conversation with the Chief Ministers of all the states regarding the lockdown imposed on the corona virus through video conferencing. Most states asked PM Modi to increase the lockdown. The governments of Odisha and Punjab have already announced to increase the lockdown. Earlier, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal also talked about increasing the lockdown.

Sources said that Kejriwal agrees that the 21 day shutdown period applicable till April 14 should be extended not only in Delhi but across the country. Sources said that Kejriwal, in a conversation with the Prime Minister through video conferencing, said, "Just extending the lock down in Delhi will not help."
