In the Industrial Development Plot,Covid-19 has been reported among porters.
Amid the rapid spread of Covid-19 in the Corporation area , the action of the business community with their influence cannot be justified when strict regulations are in place. Many workers from different regions are employed in the industrial development plot-said West Hill Development Working Committee.
The neighboring Ward 67, which was a critical containment zone is now in a controlled state thanks to the efforts taken by Deputy Collector Anithakumari , health workers and RRT volunteers-the committee noted.
Sudheesh Keshavpuri, general convener of the Westhill Development Working Committee has demanded the authorities to reveal who had given permission to work in the containment zone.
He also said such activities in ward 72 would make the pandemic situation worse.
