Umer mentioned that due to prolonged lockdown restriction thousands of medium and small manufacturing units and factories could be closed permanently. He said that industry is the largest employment provider of the country and if it would face such conditions so it will certainly effect the large part of our population.
“Keeping this situation in view authorities should allow all industries to work without any discrimination, if some of the industries can follow the SOPs so why all cannot do the same” he added.
