CHENNAI: The resumption of business in non-containment zones as per guidelines of the Ministry of Home Affairs would facilitate economic revival and ensure livelihoods of many people, especially in the rural and semi-urban areas, according to the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Tamil Nadu State Council Chairman K Hari Thiagarajan.
He welcomed Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami’s decision to resume economic and industrial activities in the non-containment zones.
Meanwhile, Madras Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Ramkumar Ramamoorthy said, “The State government has taken a cautious-yet-pragmatic approach to relax restrictions for most categories: from neighbourhood shops to SMEs to large scale industries, while ring-fencing the containment zones. These relaxations will enable industries to slow-crank operations.”
