Prime Minister Narendra Modi had directed to people last week to observe the Janata Curfew on Sunday where people had to voluntarily stay at home to contain the spread of Coronavirus. Modi had also directed people to express gratitude to the emergency workers by clapping, clanging plates from their windows for five minutes at 5 pm on Sunday.
Many people took to twitter to show the applause in their areas in different parts of the country. But one such video, shared by Twitter user Siddhant Sharma, of a man stopping near the road and clapping won hearts on Twitter.
The viral video shows the man holding a bag and standing at the side of the road and clapping with everyone else, as the sounds of utensils clanging and people's applause can be heard in the background.
