Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lit earthen lamps to form an ‘Om’ at his residence on Sunday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had appealed to the nation to switch off all lights of houses today at 9 PM for 9 minutes, and just light a candle, ‘diya’, or flashlight, to mark India’s fight against coronavirus.
