Lift curbs on inter-state transport partially: Goa CM tells PM
Goa will soon develop its own standard operating procedure (SOP) for visiting tourists. Inter-state movement should be allowed but in a restricted manner, especially because neighboring Karnataka & Maharashtra are witnessing increasing cases of #COVID19: Goa CM Pramod Sawant
The Chief Minister also said awareness has to be built on social distancing, use of masks and hand sanitizers and maintaining general hygiene needing priority in these times.
"Standard Operating Procedures need to be evolved for workplaces, manufacturing units and public places, including markets. "We need to prepare ourselves for the reopening of educational institutions also," the Chief Minister added.
He told Modi that continuous lockdown on inter-state movement of people and goods has had a very negative effect on the economy, as these were essential for the manufacturing sector to achieve economies of scale.
Though goods transport was allowed, there were "large obstructions" as many states have been enforcing stricter measures on such movements.
"Already my state has suffered heavily as manufacturing has come to a standstill and the agriculture sector is not able to achieve value addition as markets across the country are closed down and, we being net surplus in most agricultural commodities, are facing the brunt, the Chief Minister said.
He called for complete removal of restrictions on inter-state transport of goods by all states.
The Chief Minister also wanted all restrictions on public transport across states lifted and free movement of people, particularly those attending work, be allowed.
