Pimpri, July 13, 2020: A day after Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) issued guidelines for the 10 days lockdown from July 14-23, today it has issued a revised set of guidelines for industrial units, IT companies and agricultural processing units. Pimpri Chinchwad police will enforce a strict curfew, therefore passes will be required by employees for travelling to and from offices and industrial units.
As per the revised guidelines issued PCMC Commissioner Shravan Hardikar, petrol pump and the gas pump will open from 9 am to 6 pm and they will supply fuel only to government vehicles and vehicles in essential services and supply chain.
All industrial establishments and agricultural processing industries will continue to operate during the said period as per the rules. The IT industry can be started with 15% staff capacity. If possible, the work from home option should be used, PCMC said.
The HR department head of the concerned establishment/company has to issue the vehicle pass on the letterhead of the company for the officers/workers working in the establishment. They are being authorized for that. Information on the passes issued by the company should be submitted to the concerned Commissioner of Police and Police Station in-charge. It is being made mandatory for the company workers to carry the company’s identity card and the vehicle pass provided by the company during the journey to and from work. However, in the case of finding Covid-19 patient in an industrial establishment, it will be mandatory for the company to do COVID test of all the workers in the unit at its own cost. In the meantime, the concerned unit should be kept closed. It should be reactivated only after completion of the test and disinfection of the unit concerned. Only employees living outside the containment zone will be allowed to work.
According to PCMC additional commissioner Ajit Pawar, before allowing employees in the company, their body temperature should be checked and they should be admitted only if they are within the appropriate limits. It is mandatory to use sanitizer, mask and keep social distance as well as comply with the relevant rules and regulations.
“The company should take care that the employees do not come from the containment zone. It will be the responsibility of the company and the employees concerned to know whether the area is a containment zone or not. In case of violation of the terms and conditions, action will be taken against the concerned employees and the company. Also, the vehicle pass will be revoked immediately. The vehicle pass issued to the employees should be issued on the letterhead of the company only. Otherwise, the pass will not be considered”, Pawar stated in a letter sent to all the companies.
