NEW DELHI: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday appealed to people to light candle, diyas or even mobile flashlights on 9 pm on Sunday to show solidarity in the country’s collective fight against the coronavirus pandemic, social media was full of videos and posts about the ‘scientific benefits’ of the venture. This led the government, through the Press Information Bureau, to dismiss these as ‘rumours’ and ‘unscientific’. (IANS)
