Businesses are permanently closed due to the ban on economic activity
In the wake of the second wave of the Kovid-19 pandemic, the retailers’ association (RAI) on Tuesday said the ban on economic activity will permanently shut businesses down and provide jobs for millions of people. The retailer said a similar situation arose during the lockdown last year. Therefore, the government should now allow the non-essential or non-food retailers and malls to operate under strict supervision. “The closure of the inevitable or non-food retail outlets and malls is not a solution,” RAI CEO Kumar Rajagopalan said in a statement. Considering the loss to business over the past year, discontinuing this level of economic activity will permanently shut businesses down, leaving millions of people unemployed. Instead of strict oversight, businesses should be kept open and there should be no complete ban on all rules of safety and hygiene and compliance with physical distance standards, he said. Rajagopalan said that coordinated retailers across the country, including shopping centers, are following a standard operating system with complete success and should therefore be allowed to operate under strict supervision.
