Breaking: PM Modi to address nation shortly: Likely to make big announcement

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 9 am today, tweeted his office. “Today is the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Today PM will inaugurate key schemes relating to irrigation in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh. Then, he will go to Jhansi for the ‘Rashtra Raksha Samparpan Parv.’ Before all of these programmes, he will address the nation at 9 AM,” tweeted the Prime Minister’s office.

The last time the Prime Minister addressed the nation it was right after India scripted history by becoming only the second country after China to reach the one billion COVID-19 vaccinations milestone mark in October.

Earlier this week, the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor the road to Darbar Sahib Kartarpur in Pakistan was reopened, just days before the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak. Movement on the Kartarpur corridor was suspended in March 2020, when Pakistan put restrictions on travel from India after the Covid outbreak.
