The govT has decided to finalize the procedure to start industries and issue travel passes to commence industrial activity in Industrial Estates and Rural Areas. The State has decided to lay emphasis by State authorities to make the procedure as simple as possible so that industrial activities can be allowed to start by April 20 onwards.
Industries in Industrial Estates and in rural areas who want to start activity have to submit the following Google fo- rm: https:// forms.gle/ SVigsABQJdMGR7pd6*
Unit holder should go through the MHA guidelines and practice distancing and follow other guidelines within the unit like thermal scanning which has to be made mandatory to every employee / person present in the factory and register to be maintained on a daily basis, says a govt official.
“Random checking of register and people present in the factory would be done and anyone without ESI coverage to be insured. There would be police checks at the gate to check unauthorised entry of vehicle without pass. Under no circumstances any unit should encourage employment of someone who is currently outside the State,” the State guidelines say.
It adds that GSIA will post the format for undertaking, which needs to be printed on company letter head duly signed and stamped by authorised person.
Travel stickers to be collected from the concerned field manager of GIDC by producing the above undertaking.
Units can now operate the second shift. Industries outside the Industrial Estate should indicate to which industrial Estate they want to tie up with for collection of sticker’s for the units which already have permissions from the collector to operate.
For vehicle stickers they can also submit the same google form. But this is not mandatory, but could ease clearing vehicles at check points. For employees coming on foot they can show their ID cards else companies can issue separate permits on their letter head. Any queries can be addressed to GSIA at [email protected].
