The Haryana state government has issued a notification permitting the resumption of construction activity at small residential or industrial sites with not more than 10 workers, with due diligence. The move, however, had a limited impact of steel trades.
Steel traders in Faridabad believe despite the order, availability of labour at construction sites remain an issue and activity is unlikely to resume soon. Construction material like rebar too cannot be transported from outside states as the Delhi-Faridabad border remains closed for non-essential goods.
