'What is balcony?': Mumbaikars ask where to clap during PM Modi's 'Janta Curfew'

In order to toughen fight against outbreak of deadly coronavirus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed nation on March 19 and urged Indians to practice “Janata Curfew” on March 22. While suggesting that proposed ‘curfew’ would prepare people of nation for challenges to come in face of pandemic, he asked that everyone should come out in balconies of ir homes and applaud people providing essential services during this time. 

However, as coronavirus infected at least 195 people in India including foreign nationals, request by PM Modi quickly took Twitter by storm with Mumbaikars saying it would be “impossible” for m to practice same. t only did Mumbaikars made fun of ir “very small homes” but few also asked 'what is balcony?'

PM said, “I would like, on Sunday, March 22, for us to offer thanks to all such people who are providing essential services in such time. On Sunday at 5pm, let us stand at doors and balconies of our houses and applaud se people for five minutes — by clapping, banging plates and pans.”

‘t Possible’

From memes describing enthusiasm for “Janata Curfew” on March 22, to mocking “luxurious” balcony, Mumbaikars tweeted about everything. One of internet users who lived in an apartment with a balcony in Mumbai, even said he feels “weird” about it as hundreds of or people said that “balcony is n-existent in Bombay”.
