The Rajasthan government has permitted garment factories to continue operating during its 15-day lockdown. The industry has not seen any disruption till now and it can manage for these 15 days with limited workers. However, it is likely to be impacted if the lockdown extends beyond that, says Hero Ravjani, Secretary, Apparel Park Manufacturers Association. Many garment workers have left their jobs either to return to their homes to celebrate Eid or due to pandemic fears as cases mount in the state, adds Dileep Baid, Former President, Confederation of Indian Industry.
The government is currently working on facilitating an e-pass system to enable workers to travel to and from work and continue their duties.
