Karnataka government withdraws order of lockdown relaxation; lockdown to continue across state
Bengaluru: In the latest development the Karnataka Government withdrew its earlier order of relaxing the lockdown in parts of Karnataka and outside ‘Containment Zones’ in the state, allowing two-wheelers and four-wheelers with passes to move freely in the state. The move is reportedly prompted by the public flak and criticism over the move in the state.
Speaking to reporters at his residence office on Saturday evening Yediyurappa had added "It was decided that there will be no restrictions on the transportation of essential goods, as well as construction materials like gravel, sand, cement and steel," he said. Construction workers will be allowed to stay where they are employed, he added.
The Chief Minister had said 33 per cent of the workforce of IT-BT companies would be allowed to attend office after April 20. Industries would be permitted to function in industrial clusters in villages and Special Economic Zones or industrial townships in urban areas, he had said.
However later in the evening the CM announced that the orders were withdrawn after considering public opinions and views of other officials.
Taking to the twitter the CM added that after considering opinions of people of the state and senior government officials the orders were reconsidered and withdrawn.
