– July 24, 2020The Central Government has asked all states to avoid large gatherings for Independence Day celebrations and stream the events through the internet. The announcement comes amid the rising positive cases of COVID-19 infections in the country. The Centre through the Health Ministry asked states to invite frontline warriors such as doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to the event and even people who have recovered from the infection. With the announcement, all events should be organised without large gatherings and technology should be harnessed to celebrate the event. It should be webcast so that it can reach to large sections of people, especially those who are unable to participate. The ministry also asked to promote Aatma Nirbhar Bahrat in suitable activities and messages.
