Meanwhile, he addressed a press conference held at the lawn of Nagaon Circuit House and thanked the people of the district as well as the State for maintaining the required social distance and other guidelines of the government during the lockdown period. He said that to fight against coronavirus, people had nothing in their hands except maintaining social distancing as no vaccine had been developed till date to fight the fatal virus.
Answering a question asked by a journalist, Sonowal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would take the needful decision whether the ongoing nationwide lockdown would be extended or withdrawn and the State government had nothing to do with the matter. Yet Modiji would discuss the issue with governments of all the States soon in this regard, he added.
