BHOPAL : Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday indicated that the lockdown can be extended in the state, if needed, news agency PTI reported.
The 3-week national lockdown, which came into force on 24 March midnight following the announcement made by PM Narendra Modi, entered its fourteenth day today. "We will take a decision after analysing the circumstances.
Lives of people are more important. We can tolerate lockdown. We can resurrect the economy later on but can't be able to bring back lives of people," Chouhan said in a video statement.
