With increasing of corona cases,chances to imposed lockdown is increasing. But as lockdown will shut all economic activities make trouble to everyone. In this context, Industry body FICCI wrote a letter to Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao suggested efforts should be made to avoid introducing a lockdown or even a partial lockdown in the State.

Here it is to be noted that resorting to this at this stage may not be conducive to the overall situation and will push the economy into downward spiral, said FICCI president Uday Shankar President. For tour information let us share that the lockdown last year, though unavoidable at that time, exacted a huge cost on Indian economy and livelihoods of the people. The economy has barely begun to turnaround from the impact of the lockdowns last year, he said.

However, it is needed to mention here that instead of lockdown the country needs to break the chain of Covid spread, he said suggesting ramp up of Covid testing, hold an awareness drive on the importance of using mask and sanitizer and maintain social distance. Strict compliance to Covid protocol may be ensured with suitable penalties for violations.
