Millions of Indians across the country participated in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to light candles and lamps at their homes and turn off their lights to show solidarity in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic on Sunday 9 pm for nine minutes.

The country has recorded 3,577 coronavirus cases, of which 83 people have died.
