SOP for smooth movement of goods, workers
Bhubaneswar: Having exempted construction activities from lockdown restrictions in rural and urban areas, the state government has allowed free movement of labourers on foot and cycle. For office employees allowed to function during the lockdown, identity cards issued by the companies will be accepted as valid travel document.
The state government has also issued the standard operating procedure (SOP) for smooth movement of goods and workers and opening of vehicle repair shops. Special relief commissioner P K Jena on Tuesday notified the district collectors and municipal authorities about the SOP. “Permitted business/shop owners may issue paper document containing the name and other details of the employee/labourer,” the SOP states. Though it allows movement of workers to warehouse or worksite for construction activities, the SOP said the organisations can transport them in passenger vehicles limiting to 40 per cent of the approved seating capacity and by maintaining social distancing norms. “Such vehicle shall be moving from point to point with no pick-up en-route. It is clarified that no person shall be allowed to either board or alight en-route between the starting point and destination point of the journey,” read the SOP. tnn
