If you go on Twitter, you will see #40_अप्रैल is trending. Well, wondering why? Aaj Tak journalist Chitra Tripathi had made a goof-up while reading news on Coronavirus lockdown. Instead of saying that the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government has extended the lockdown due to the novel coronavirus pandemic to April 30, she had a slip of the tongue and said April 40.
The video has gone viral on social media and meme lords have come with some of the hilarious memes. Later, the news anchor gave clarification on the mistake. She tweeted, “स्क्रीन का टॉप बैंड देखें. कल चौबीस घंटे में 40 लोगों की मौत हो गई थी. वहीं आँकड़ा दिमाग़ में घूम रहा था..चालीस लोगों की कोरोना से एक दिन में मौत परेशान करती है..वहीं आँकड़ा दिमाग़ में रह गया था..इसीलिये ऐसा हो गया..”
(See the top band of the screen. Yesterday, 40 people died in 24 hours. At the same time, the data was in my mind and the death of forty people in one day from coronavirus is disturbing..the data was in the mind..so that’s why)
