Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation today comes amid an ongoing stand-off between India and China at Ladakh's Galwan valley and a surge in coronavirus cases that has shown little sign of slowing down.

Here are the HIGHLIGHTS from PM Modi's speech:
==========================================================================================
1. We are entering Unlock-2 while battling the Coronavirus. We are also now entering a season, where there will be lots of rain and hence we will be more prone to diseases. So, it is my appeal to you all to take necessary precautions.
2. In comparison to other countries across the globe, India is still in a very stable situation, in the battle against COVID-19. Timely decisions and measures have played a great role. But we have also seen that since Unlock1, the society has become more careless.
3. People who are not following rules need to be stopped and made aware of the problems. Nobody is above rules in India, even if it's the leader of the nation.
4. We notice that there has been a negligence on people's social and personal behaviour. Like the way we used to meticulously wash hands, used sanitisers, wore masks, maintained social distancing and avoided shaking hands... we see that that is not happening as strictly anymore. That is a sign of worry. This is a serious matter, and we must ensure that we maintain the discipline.
