00:00So this is very important, remember, India's Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas,
00:04Haradeep Singh Puri, has put out that elaborate statement
00:06and that will now be followed by Prime Minister meeting also with the Chief Ministers.
00:09But I just want to reiterate what Haradeep Singh Puri has said
00:12because this has been a main concern.
00:13I have had a lot of questions from viewers asking
00:16if there is going to be a lockdown anytime soon and if they should brace for it.
00:20Rumours of a lockdown in India are completely false.
00:23Let me state this clearly, Haradeep Singh Puri says,
00:26there is no such proposal under consideration by the government of India
00:29in these times, important that we remain calm, responsible, united.
00:33Attempts to spread rumours and create panic are irresponsible and harmful.
00:38But he is also adding to reassure that in the face of global uncertainties,
00:42we are acting in a timely and a coordinated manner.
00:46The supplies of fuel, energy, critical supplies are all stable.
00:50Now this is what the government is saying right now, of course,
00:52remains to be seen what happens in the next one to two months.
00:56But the panic buying, the hoarding, the lockdown rumour-mongering
00:59is definitely dangerous for now.
01:03So this is what the government strategy is going to be.
01:06And also remember, amid all of this, the fact is,
01:08even though India is not directly involved in the West Asia war,
01:11in fact has asked for hostilities to end,
01:14but we have seen clearly the impact of it.
01:16There has been the LPG cylinder concerns.
01:19There is, of course, a certain order that has gone around that where there is an option,
01:23an alternative available for the pipe natural gas.
01:26The infrastructure needs to be immediately put in place.
01:29At 6.30pm, that is what Prime Minister Modi will be discussing
01:33with the state governments, barring the ones heading for elections.
01:37On your screen are the five specific agendas
01:40that the Prime Minister will be discussing.
01:42In this time, we have to ask ╤А╨░╨┤╨╕ the side of Canada and the region it isicular as the
