The Agro Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomed the State government’s decision to ease the lockdown restrictions. Permitting the essential commodities like provisions, grocery and some of the industrial and trade-related services to resume would help these sectors.
In a press statement issued on Saturday, Agro Chamber President S. Rethinavelu thanked Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for allowing the services of electricians, carpenters, vehicle repair workshops, plumbers and motor technicians to resume work. He hoped that the relaxations would be extended to the other sectors step by step.
