Ludhiana: Welcoming the recommendation of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry for further expansion of the list of economic activities, which should be opened during the extended lockdown beyond 14th April, 2020, Mr Sharad Kumar Saraf, President, FIEO said that the list of industries have been carefully chosen to help in slowly bringing the economy on track.
Mr Saraf said that opening of all export industries, large as well as MSMEs including SEZs and EOUs, will help the exporters to execute whatever little orders remain with them after huge cancellations in the last two months. This will also send the right signal to overseas buyers that the situation is fast normalizing in India encouraging them to further place orders on us.
He said that free movement of vehicles and manpower required for such activities is the most pragmatic one and so is operationalization of transportation throughout the length and breadth of the country. Mr Saraf assured the Government that industry will adhere to sanitization and social distancing norms for the health and safety of workers, who are our invaluable assets.
President FIEO requested that the Ministry of Home Affairs should immediately issue the order to put the recommendation into practice which will be a saviour of the economy while simultaneously helping the industry as well as workers.
