TOP HEADLINES: PM Modi to interact with CMs over Covid crisis today

The rising number of Covid-19 cases in the country and the status of vaccination is expected to figure in the meeting scheduled between Prime Minister Narendra Modi with all Chief Ministers on Wednesday, officials said.

The meeting, to be held in a virtual mode, is slated to begin at  11:00 am, where Modi will take stock of the situation and assess the progress of the country's vaccination drive that began two months back.

Wednesday's meeting will be the first such interaction between the Prime Minister and the Chief Ministers since the government launched the vaccination drive on January 16. The Prime Minister held several such virtual meetings with several Chief Ministers earlier as well, with the last such discussion held in January ahead of the rollout of the drive.
