Amid increasing Covid-19 cases, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has set up a control room to monitor the transportation and supply of essential commodities. The department had set up a similar control room in April last year.
The DPIIT said that due to the surge in Covid-19 cases, it has "taken cognizance of the steps taken by various state governments/UTs to control the spread" of coronavirus. "As a measure of precaution and for supporting our business ecosystem, DPIIT will monitor the status and issues arising (if any) during transportation and delivery of goods and essential commodities due to the restrictions (if any) imposed by various state governments/UTs," it said.
Issues reported by stakeholders through this control room will be taken up with states and UT governments.
As per the department, in the event of any manufacturing, transportation, distribution, wholesale or e-commerce companies facing difficulties in transportation and distribution of goods or mobilisation of resources, it can be informed to the department at dpiit-controlroorn@gov.in.
Telephone numbers 91-11-23063554, 23060625 will remain functional from 9 am to 9 pm from Wednesday.
