Bengaluru, Apr 28: Providing respite, Karnataka has decided to ‘conditionally’ allow economic activities to restart in green zones.
The green zones of Chamarajanagar, Koppal, Chikkamagaluru, Raichur, Chitradurga, Ramanagara, Hassan, Shivamogga, Haveri, Yadgir, Kolar, Davangere, Udupi and Kodagu will now see shops and industrial activities starting operations, according to an order issued by Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar on Tuesday.
Lockdown restrictions in the wake of COVID-19 will continue in Bengaluru Urban, Belagavi, Mysuru, Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Kalaburagi, Bidar and Dakshina Kannada. Here, only essential services and supplies will be allowed.
In green zones, all shops that include neighbourhood shops, standalone shops, shops in residential complexes within the limits of municipal corporations and municipalities can open with 50 per cent manpower but with masks and social distancing mandatory.
Shops in residential and marketing complexes are allowed to open in areas located outside municipal limits, the order states.
Multi-brand and single-brand malls will remain shut across Karnataka.
Industries operating in rural areas of these green zones (except Ramanagara) have been allowed to start. Also, manufacturing and other industrial establishments with access control in special economic zones and export-oriented units, industrial estates and industrial townships will be allowed to operate.
“These establishments shall make arrangements for stay of workers within their premises as far as possible and/ or adjacent buildings. The transportation of workers to workplace shall be arranged by the employers in dedicated transport by ensuring social distancing (sic),” Bhaskar said in the order.
This order comes a day after Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa participated in a video conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and with all deputy commissioners.
No decision on relaxing lockdown restrictions has been taken for Ballari, Mandya, Bengaluru Rural, Gadag, Tumakuru, Chikkaballapur, Uttara Kannada and Dharwad. “The decision regarding opening of shops and industries in taluks where there are no active COVID-19 cases will be taken by the concerned district in-charge minister,” Bhaskar said.
According to a report published in Jayakirana, a Mangaluru based Kannada eveninger on Thursday, the incident took place on Saturday, but it came to light belatedly. The same report was published in Varthabharati Kannada daily on Friday.

GO RAKSHAK IS AN IMPOTENT TEAM. If they are really worried for Cow. They should come together to punish BJP men. It clearly shows that they are not worried for cow, they just want to get the benefit from cow voters during the election.
Saffron party not worried for cow. They are utilizing cow for their vote bank. If they are real worried then how India reached no.1 position in beef exporting, and modi government gives discount on the import of beef cutting machinary. Hindu people blindly believe their leaders and they utilize their voters like cow.
