Over 1,000 industrial workers covered so far Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA A little over 1,000 industrial workers above 45 years have been covered so far in Tiruchi district in the COVID-19 vaccination sessions being conducted at workplaces since April 12 by the Health Department. The District Industries Centre, SIDCO and Department of Industrial Safety and Health have taken the support of industry associations to arrive at the list of workers for the immunisation exercise. As per the guidelines of the Union Health Ministry, COVID-19 vaccination sessions are conducted at work places with about 100 eligible and willing beneficiaries (to facilitate optimal utilization of vaccine dosage and reduce wastage). Preventing the need for travel and thereby reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19 virus is the rationale behind the initiative to conduct vaccination sessions at workplaces.

COVID-19 restrictions trigger unease among migrant workers

Updated: Share Article AAA The COVID-19 lockdown restrictions announced by the State Government with effect from April 20 is understood to have caused unease among migrant/guest workers in Tiruchi district. The fear of getting stranded has gripped the minds of the workers, according to proprietors of fabrication units in industrial estates in the district. Though the number of guest workers is much lesser in Tiruchi district, when compared to Karur and other districts in the Western part of the State, their presence is of huge advantage for the industries here from the point of view of productivity. “There was an exodus during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and many returned subsequently. There should be at least 1,500 workers from North-Indian States employed by industries in Tiruchi,” R. Ilango president of Tiruchi District Tiny and Small Scale Industries Association said.
