My heart goes out to shop owners who face continuing hardship. It’s now our responsibility to strictly follow Covid protocols so that these restrictions can be lifted sooner rather than later"

Earlier the industrialist had requested the Chief minister not to impose lockdown as it hurts most are the poor, migrant workers & small businesses

He had written,"The problem, @OfficeofUT ji, is that the people a lockdown hurts most are the poor, migrant workers & small businesses. The original lockdowns were essentially to buy time to build up hospital/health infrastructure. Let’s focus on resurrecting that & on avoiding mortality."
