On the other hand, the work of vaccination is also going very fast.

We have to balance everting with the motto of “Jaan bhi hai Jahan bhi hai”. There would be no more lockdown in the state and all the business will be running with few restrictions.

When the cases will reduce, everything will get back to normal,” added CM.

He appealed the people to create a situation where no one in the state has to pay the penalty of not wearing a mask. We must maintain social distancing, use sanitizer frequently and get vaccinated when it’s our turn. Not only that, we should not step out of our houses unnecessarily and must avoid crowds. With all this precautionary steps we will once again prove the slogan” Corona Harshe, Gujarat Jitshe”.
