Following the coronavirus scare, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that as a precaution he will not participate in any ‘Holi Milan’ program.
“Experts across the world have advised reducing mass gatherings to avoid the spread of COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus. Hence, this year I have decided not to participate in any Holi Milan program,” Modi tweeted.
