Lockdown, Day 20: All eyes on Modi now

With India caught between rising Covid cases and a choking economy, no conclusion for tomorrow — the day the 21-day lockdown is supposed to end — looks foregone. Nothing appears an open-and-shut case at this point — neither extending the lockdown nor lifting it. We'll only know at 10 am tomorrow when Modi addresses the nation.

In the meantime, confirmed cases in the country crossed 9,000 today, and more than 300 are now dead.

Here are the other latest developments in the past 24 hours...
