Workers protests are not limited to one or two places, such situation at many place does indicate that either Government shall give relaxations to start economic activities or arrange to send these workers back to their villages. For relaxation from lockdown, state governments have to device area specific solutions rather than one solution applicable for whole district. The whole district may not be under red zone, few pockets may be sealed and normal activities may be allowed in rest.

Sir, For developing a strong & vibrant Handloom Sector, we have to campaign for a Nationwide Drive to upgrade, glorify, sensitize and advertise the lucrative socioeconomic gains for the rural regions of greater Indian panorama! There are miscellaneous ways that can fruitfully save our ancient history of the Handloom. In view of Gandhian nationalism, love for the local handloom sector would definitely throw some flashlight on the traditional richness of the art of weaving. This could be a boon!

I came to know today that bus services are to be started to pick up those who are at present at other states.this is possible for border states.it is practically difficult for aged persons,patients,children to cover a distance of 1000 km or more by bus .What about these persons. I think air services or train services are to be simultaneously. please consider this and issue guidelines.

Payment of GST is going to become a problem as on hand one has to pay the workers in cash, on the other hand his payments are held by the customers. So, there will be defaults in deposit of GST amounts and delay in filing of returns. Government shall immediately look into this aspect

PM is brand ambassador of Khadi. Whenever he goes to any exhibition, he himself buys some khadi item using digital payment. He endorses both khadi and digital payment. His appeals have worked and people are going for Khadi products. It has resulted in increase in sales of products of Khadi and Village Industries. Popularity of Khadi is increasing day by day.
