The UP government on Wednesday allowed all manufacturing units to continue operations even during weekend lockdowns and night curfews but asked them to strictly follow Covid-related protocols.
The move comes as a huge respite to UP’s electronics manufacturing industry, including mobile phones, televisions and most importantly the component makers, which run continuous processing units with 24-hour shifts.
