The Goa State Industries Association (GSIA), an organisation of MSMEs, on Friday said procedures had begun in order to restart industries in the State from April 20.
Speaking to reporters, GSIA president Damodar Kochkar said a meeting was convened with authorities on Friday to finalise procedures to restart industries and issue travel passes to commence industrial activity in industrial estates and rural areas.
"Emphasis was given by authorities to make the procedure as simple as possible so that allowed industrial activities can restart by April 20. Industries at the industrial estates and in rural areas who want to restart activity from April 20 have to submit a prescribed form. The GSIA will post the format for undertaking which needs to be printed on the company letterhead, duly signed and stamped by the authorised person," said Kochkar.
"Travel stickers will have to be collected from the GIDC Field Manager concerned by producing an undertaking. Industries outside the industrial estate should indicate which industrial estate they want to tie up with, for collection of stickers.”
“Those units which already have permissions from the collector to operate can also submit the form if they need vehicle stickers. This is not mandatory, but could ease clearing vehicles at check points," said
Kochkar He added that for employees travelling on foot, they can show their ID cards or else, companies can issue separate permits on their letterhead. “Further queries, if any, can be addressed to GSIA by email at [email protected]," added Kochkar.
