PM cuts short CM

While Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar was giving statistics during the video-conferencing with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Covid situation and preparedness, he was cut short by the latter. Even as Khattar was speaking, the Prime Minister interrupted him and asked him to speak on the state's plan to tackle the surge instead of dwelling on numbers which were already available.
