Rajkot: After the state government granted partial permission to industries to start operations while observing safety norms, Rajkot district administration allowed 6,448 units to begin operations from April 22.
“A total of 6,475 units of 11 talukas of Rajkot district had applied for the permission, of which 1,999 units of GIDC and 4,999 units that fall outside the jurisdiction of the GIDC have been granted the permission,” said Kishor Mori, general manager of Rajkot district industrial centre.
From Monday, 1,114 units under GIDC have started functioning, while 333 units in Lodhika GIDC and two units in Padadhari GIDC started functioning from Wednesday, said Mori in a press release.
A total of 3,983 units falling out of GIDC limits were granted permission to start functioning from April 21, while those granted permission to start operations from April 22 included Dhoraji (40 units), Gondal (60 units), Jasdan (33), Kotadasangani (740), Lodhika (43), Padadhari (57) and Rajkot taluka (43).
Meanshile, the Junagadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry has sought permission from the district collector to allow the industrial units in the district to resume operations. In a representation before the collector, the chamber claimed that as there were tiny units situated at distances from each other, there was little scope of crowd gathering, and thus social distancing could be maintained.
Apart from the units, the chamber also sought permission for wiremen, plumbers, agricultural shops, stationary shops, vehicle repairing shops, garment shops and the shops selling tobacco products.
