While some opposition parties like the Congress and many of Modi critics had ridiculed the call of the Prime Minister, people by and large responded spontaneously and many burst firecrackers to pay their tribute to those in the front lines of fight against Covid-19.
The initiative is being held at a time when the nation is under 21-day lockdown to combat the infectious disease.
