"Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 4 PM tomorrow," the Prime Minister's Office tweeted on Monday night.
The address comes two days after PM Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' radio show, wherein he said that India had given a befitting response to China on Ladakh, praising the army which fought Chinese troops at the Galwan Valley earlier this month. He also spoke of the call for boycott of Chinese goods by the traders and the civil society.
The Centre on Monday announced its decision to block 59 Chinese-owned mobile applications including TikTok, WeChat and UC Browser.

India's tally of coronavirus cases has risen to 5,48,318, including 16,475 deaths.
The Centre on Monday released guidelines for Unlock2 in which it has extended the lockdown in containment zones till July 31.

"We noticed that there has been a negligence on people's social and personal behaviour. Like the way we used to meticulously washed hands, used sanitisers, wore masks, maintained social distancing and avoided shaking hands, we see that that is not happening as strictly anymore," he said
"Our death rate is under control," said the Prime Minister while addressing the nation on the last day oh Unlock1.
