Punjab permits construction activities across state
In a major step towards re-opening the state's economy, the Punjab government has decided to allow construction activities in the state, along with mining of sand and gravel operations. In a big relief to private developers, the notification also gives the go-ahead to construction projects within the limits of municipal corporations and municipalities, where workers are available on site and don't need to be brought in from outside. In its guidelines to the Deputy Commissioners of the districts, the state also permitted operation of stone crushers, besides opening of the units dealing in construction and infrastructure activities. Construction activities will encompass roads, irrigation projects, buildings, water supply and sanitation and strengthening power transmission lines, optical fiber and related activities. The state has also given the green light to industrial projects, including MSMEs, in rural areas, and all kinds of projects in industrial belts, provided they have arrangements for factory-quarantining workers or can organize their transportation. There would, however, be no relaxations in containment zones and the DCs will issue curfew passes and regulate the timings, as per the general guidelines of the Government of India being extended to all the states.
