Later, the prime minister tried to allay fear over the lockdown saying there is absolutely no need to panic. In a tweet, PM Modi said, "Essential commodities, medicines etc. would be available. Centre and various state governments will work in close coordination to ensure this."
The prime minster urged people not to go into panic buying mode and said the “Centre and State Governments will ensure all essentials are available.”
