July 09, 2020 22:39

The Uttarakhand government will not use any Chinese equipment or device, state Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said on Thursday.

The Uttarakhand government had decided quite early that it would not use Chinese goods, equipment or devices, said Rawat while speaking to reporters here.

Even the people have begun using Indian apps and goods in large number in the country, said Rawat, while lauding the Centre's decision to ban 59 Chinese apps, including Tik Tok.

He said under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's campaign to make India a self-reliant nation, the country is fast reestablishing its moder identity even amid the adverse circumstance of COVID-19.

He said the Rs 20 lakh crore package announced by Prime Minister Modi under the Atma-Nirbhar Bharat (a self-reliant India) campaign has already begun showing its result within one and half months of its declaration.

He said the PM's call to become vocal for local and make it global has secured people's support from all over the country. -- PTI
