The social media team of the Chief Minister said the video has been widely appreciated. The Indian youth congress, while sharing the video on its social media platform stated: “If a little kid can understand that the lockdown has been lifted for only for doing very important things & not for fun activities, surely we all can understand it too!  Do not step out unless necessary.”
