Garment units to operate with 100% workforce

Garment units in Tirupur are all set to commence production with 100% workers from Monday.
The move has brought cheers to the workers, who were jobless for the past several weeks.The garment units, which had voluntarily shut operations before the enforcement of total lockdown owing to the exponential rise in Covid-19 cases, were allowed to function with 25% workforce from June 7 and 50% workers from June 21.
However, there was a ban on full resumption of operations, as Tirupur continued to report high number of cases.Several associations representing the garment industry subsequently requested the state government to relax the norms for resumption of full-fledged production.
The state government, in its recent order, relaxed the norms and allowed the export units and their subsidiaries to function with 100% workforce.
Other industrial units have been allowed to operate with 33% workforce.After a gap of almost 45 days, the export-oriented units are going to function with 100% workers from Monday.
The units have been asked to ensure that workers are wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing.
