The Tamil Nadu government on Sunday allowed 17 industrial estates to resume work from tomorrow with conditions, including confining the work force to 25 percent and implementing safety measures. The industrial estates situated in non-containment zones, including the Ambattur and Guindy clusters can resume work from May 25, the government said. Employees residing in containment zones would not be allowed to report for work, however. Thermal scanners must be used for screening employees, an official release said. Following social distancing, disinfecting work places twice a day and practicing personal hygiene were among the other norms that should be implemented. The industries in the clusters are expected to resume work partially from tomorrow after a gap of two months.
