Srinagar, Jan 28: As the Covid-19 positive cases continue to remain at a high level across Jammu and Kashmir, the government, in order to contain the contagion, continues with weekend lockdowns. The fresh lockdowns, however, have again adversely impacted the livelihood of daily wagers and businesses community, Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry said today.
Sheikh Ashiq Ahmad, President, KCC&I while urging the administration to keep the livelihood of the business community in mind before taking any future decision has emphasised on the need to tackle the situation in consultation with traders, industry and the business community.
In a statement to Ziraat Times, KCCI said that as the successive pandemic triggered lockdowns have wreaked havoc on economy, after the receding of second wave, the businesses had started to resuscitate. But much to the dismay of stakeholders, the lockdown came again to haunt.
“The years of lockdowns have pushed Business Community to the wall and they are reeling under tremendous stress. The only stability they have been staring is financial instability”, the statement added.
“The government according to President should ensure that people adhere to COVID-19 appropriate behaviour and the protocol is followed strictly. Lockdowns cannot be the first solution or perhaps are not solution as it does more harm than good”, KCCI further said.
“The business community ensures support to the administration in implementing proper Covid protocol. In times like these, when the financial instability is marring the community, we request government to come out with certain packages for the business community in the prevailing circumstances”, KCCI further added.
Sheikh Ashiq urged Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to intervene and demanded a “financial sustenance package” for the businesses community.
