CHENNAI: On the day when the Union home ministry allowed resumption of building construction projects, the Tamil Nadu chapter of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (Credai) sought the state government to ease transportation of construction materials.
A Credai delegation met deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam, who holds housing and urban development department portfolio, on Wednesday seeking to commence construction work.
Stressing that social distancing would be maintained along with other norms for workers, the developer's body demanded permit for movement of steel and cement to the construction sites.
Earlier in the day, the Union home affairs released the consolidated revised guidelines for the lockdown, which allowed continuation of work in construction projects within the limits of municipal corporations and municipalities, where workers are available on site and no labourers are required to be brought in from outside.
