Prime Minister Narendra Modi had addressed the nation earlier this week through a video message, calling for a 9-minute show of solidarity "to fight the darkness spread by the coronavirus with light."
"On 5th April on Sunday at 9:00 p.m., I want 9 minutes of your time. Switch off all the lights in your houses and stand in your doorways or balconies and light candles, lamps, torches or flashlights of your mobile phones to highlight the objective for which we are fighting together," he had said in the message.
As soon as it was 9:00 p.m., residential complexes across the nation blacked out, as millions of people turned off their lights and came out onto their balconies and roofs. Some people were seen lighting candles and lamps, while others waved their phones with the flashlights turned on.
Chants, patriotic and religious, were heard from several apartment buildings in the capital, New Delhi, amid roaring applause.
