�Aviation Ministry’sWebsite Crashes NEW DELHI The Indian civil aviation
ministry’s website crashed on
Wednesday as panicked citizens
abroad rushed to register for a
repatriation of almost 15,000
nationals from 12 countries on
planes and naval ships.
India banned all incoming interna-
tional flights in late March as it
imposed one of the world’s strictest
virus lockdowns, leaving hundreds
of thousands of workers and stu-
dents stranded abroad.
� TN Reports 580Cases, 2 DeathsCHENNAI TN reported a marginal
drop in the number of Covid-19
cases on Thursday with 580 people
in the State testing positive for the
novel Coronavirus. The total tally of
cases touched 5,409, with two more
deaths being reported.
�No Fresh Cases forSecond Day in KeralaTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM In a major
relief to Kerala the health depart-
ment said no fresh cases of Co-
vid-19 were reported from the state
for the second consecutive day. The
state government has also removed
56 areas from the hotspot category.
� Govt Rider KeepsTesting Low in T’ganaNEW DELHI Behind Telangana’s low
testing numbers, which have come
under the scanner of the Centre, is
the state government’s insistence to
test only in government laborato-
ries and not allow private diag-
nostic centres to test for SARS-
CoV-2 (Covid-19). Indian Council of
Medical Research (ICMR) had al-
lowed private diagnostic centres to
test for SARS-CoV-2 in March after
capping the price of the test at
`̀4,500. However, the Telangana
state government has still not
allowed private laboratories to
conduct these tests.

enough to hitch a ride then maybeless.”
The Uttar Pradesh governmenthas so far received 51,371 workersfrom 43 trains and continues to plymore trains between states withadditional chief secretary (home)Awanish Awasthi confirming thata total of 99 trains have been deci-ded to be deployed by the state, in-cluding the ones expected to arri-ve. On Thursday, buses carrying10,000 workers from Rajasthan left
from UP while a batch of workerswas sent to Madhya Pradeshearlier.
Ram Kumari, a native of KabirDham in Chhattisgarh, says: “Ithas been eight days. We (includingkids) have hardly had anything toeat. We are anyway dying of star-vation here, if we have to die, it willbe better if we die in our village,”she says.
“We have tried all the numbers gi-ven to us by the Chhattisgarh go-vernment but they are not confir-ming anything. We are forced to le-ave, otherwise we would have stay-ed,” she says.
UP chief secretary, RK Tiwari,told ET that more than 3.5 lakh peo-ple have registered on the helpli-nes provided by UP for other states.
CONFUSION OVER TRAINS INKARNATAKAMeanwhile, the Karnataka go-vernment, which came under seve-re criticism for cancelling specialtrains to northern states, has deci-ded to resume services from Fri-day. After two days of confusionover the decision to abruptly stop
trains, the government asked forconsent from nine states to operatetrains from Karnataka. While Bi-har has given permission to plyone special train everyday for a we-ek starting Friday, the state is awai-ting consent from Jharkhand, Ut-tar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bhopal,Rajasthan, Odisha, Tripura andManipur.
The state may be able to send onlyabout 10,000 people in eight trainsto Bihar, while the number of peo-ple from Bihar who have registeredunder Seva Sindhu to return to the-ir homes is more than 50,000. About2.4 lakh people have registered inKarnataka, seeking train serviceto return to their home states.
The government’s decision on Tu-esday to cancel special trains crea-ted unrest among workers with ma-ny of them gathering at railwaystations hoping to go back to theirvillages. Labour unions have accu-sed the government of helping theconstruction lobby by cancellingtrains to retain the labour force fortheir construction activities.
The government’s silence on theissue only aggravated the situa-tion, as workers began protestingin some parts of Bengaluru, de-manding that the government toarrange trains. A section of the ru-ling party leaders said the decisionto cancel train service was due tolack of response from some states.
However, on Wednesday night, la-bour secretary P Manivannan inhis reply to social media messageshinted that the decision to with-draw train services was taken tobuy time as the government wasnot prepared to arrange travel faci-lities for such a large gathering.“The decision to stop the trainstemporarily was taken much befo-re the meeting with builders and Iwas present in both the meetings,”he tweeted.
“Unless we can move vast num-bers of migrants from many pointsat the same time, running a few tra-ins will lead to commotion and tur-moil. We are waiting to sort themout,” he added.
For these Migrants,it’ll be a Long Trek

Lucknow | Bengaluru: Insuffici-ent transportation services, despi-te the arrangements made by sta-tes, are forcing many migrantsstranded across India to begin the-ir exodus on foot. This, coupledwith intermittent train services instates like Karnataka where labo-ur unions are accusing the govern-ment of dancing to the tune of theconstruction lobby to retain the la-bour force in the state by not arran-ging proper train facilities, havebeen forcing many labourers tostart their trek back home.
Over the last two days, hundredsof migrant labourers from Benga-luru have started walking to theirhome states as the Karnataka go-vernment cancelled all special tra-ins –– a decision which was rever-sed on Thursday.
Similarly, in UP, large groups ofworkers from Chhattisgarh werefound leaving Lucknow, disillusio-ned and exasperated, after all theirefforts to get help from the govern-ment failed.
Construction workers Ram Ku-mar Sahu was seen peddling his fa-mily on a cycle along the Amar Sha-heed Path –– the outer bypass roadin Lucknow. He finds this the onlyway to reach his home in Chhattis-garh, almost 700 km away.
“We spoke to the state authoritiesin Raipur through the numbers gi-ven to us. We were told that they aretrying to arrange for transport.But nothing has been commissio-ned yet. We couldn’t wait any long-er without food and money. So, weset out for our homes today,” Sahu,accompanied by his wife and child,said.
“We have no food, ration... nowork. There has been little helpfrom the local authorities. We hadnot been getting any ration for mo-re than 15 days. Only after we calledthe Chhattisgarh helpline, we weregiven 1 kg atta and 2 kg rice,” saidSahu. “It will take us 5-6 days to re-ach our villages, if we are lucky

however, told ET on condition ofanonymity that the clearancefrom the state pollution board wassufficient for the polymer firm tooperate.
While the Union environmentministry is still to examine this is-sue closely, its prima facie assess-ment is that since this is an oldunit it would not have requiredthe new environmental clearancemandate.
“The state government has con-veyed to us that APPCB had givenit consent to operate as well,” a se-nior official from the environ-ment ministry told ET. “So ourfirst assessment is that it was not
running in violation of environ-mental norms. However, we willbe examining the issue more clo-sely as well now.”
Dating back to 1965, LG Polymershad in 2017 sought permission fora `̀168-crore expansion of its unitto ramp up production of polysty-rene and expandable polystyrenefrom 415 tonnes of chemicals perday to 655 tonnes per day.
It is then that questions over itsenvironmental clearance and per-mission to run were raised by twoof the state’s key environmentalpanels.
In meetings held between Mayand July 2019, State EnvironmentImpact Assessment Committee(SEAC) had said continued pro-duction at the factory was in vio-lation of the environment impactassessment notification of 2006 asno clearance was obtained underentry 5(e) which covered ‘petro-chemical based manufacturing’.It recommended that the compa-ny apply to the Union environ-ment ministry.
This, however, was not done, andthe company continued to operateafter APPCB granted consent todo so.
LG Polymer had argued that asthe project comes under category‘A’ it required only a valid consentfrom the state pollution controlboard to operate.
ET attempted to contact the ope-rations officers of LG Polymer,but did not get a response as ofpress time Thursday.
New Safety Rules likely toReopen Industrial Units
New Delhi: The Union environ-ment ministry is set to bring out asafety protocol for reopening ofunits and industries after beingclosed for over a month during thenational lockdown in the wake ofthe gas leak tragedy in Visakha-patnam on Thursday.
At a high-level meetings held inthe Prime Minister’s Office, it wasagreed that a clear protocol andcheck list must be drawn up to en-sure there is no mishap of thekind seen in Visakhapatnam whe-re at least 11 people died and morethan 800 hospitalised following amassive styrene gas leak at a LGPolymer plant that opened after 45days, people aware of the develop-ment told ET.
The Central Pollution ControlBoard (CPCB) has been instruc-ted to immediately ask all entitiesto conduct a thorough safetycheck of all their installationsand units before resuming func-tions, they said.
Most of the country’s industryhas been shut down since Marchend due to the Covid-19 outbreakand the national lockdown to con-tain its spread, and is just begin-ning to reopen.
Central and state teams are cur-rently keeping a close watch oncontamination data being collec-ted from the Visakhapatnam sitebesides doing a thorough analysison what led to the leakage, offici-als said.
Meanwhile, there are questionmarks over whether LG Polymerwas operating with all due envi-ronmental clearances and whet-her it needed the central govern-ment’s go ahead or not.
Questions have also been raisedabout how the Andhra PradeshPollution Control Board had per-mitted the unit to operate with ex-panded capacity when two of thekey state environmental bodieshad recommended that the propo-sal be prior vetted by the Union en-vironment ministry — an issueformally raised by former financesecretary EAS Sarma with chiefminister YS Jaganmohan Reddy.

Centre Should HelpRehabilitate Returnees
The
return of
lakhs of
workers
from West Asia is a challenge for
Kerala, and rehabilitating those
who have lost jobs can
effectively work only with the
Centre’s help. Kerala’s chief
minister Pinarayi Vijayan,
while pointing out that Kerala
received just `157 crore as
Central assistance, told ET’s
Vasudha Venugopal that work
is on to secure the state’s
economy. Excerpts:
On ‘flattening the curve’
To a larger extent, we succeeded
in containing Covid-19. We have
the lowest mortality and highest
recovery rates, may be in the
world. Limiting people interface,
protecting the vulnerable, wide
testing, contact tracing, early
detection, quarantine and
treatment for positive cases are
the protocols we put in place.
On the challenges when the
non-resident Keralites arrive
Almost 4.5 lakh people want to
return from abroad. This is a big
challenge for a small state like
Kerala. The department of
Non-Resident Keralites’ Affairs
(NORKA) has drawn up a
comprehensive plan for the
return of expatriates. We have
made arrangements for 2.5 lakh
beds for quarantine. We have
identified hostels, convention
centres and guest houses near
airports that can be used as
quarantine facilities. Similar
arrangements have been made
at the Kochi port for those
coming by ships.
On economic model to
rehabilitate workers from Gulf
We have drawn up a plan with
experiences from other
countries that suit our state. A
rehabilitation package can be
effective only if the Centre also
pitches in. We have a resilient
and first-class social
infrastructure which can attract
investors. Already, there have
been many enquiries from many
parts of the world. Tourism,
information technology,
bio-technology, healthcare and
education are the verticals
which bring us investments. The
returnees have rich expertise
and knowledge.. We have
already announced a scheme of
granting licence in a week for
new ventures. We have also
announced an agriculture
promotion scheme of ̀̀ 3,000
crore.
Plans to revive the
economy, tourism
We have made
representations to
the prime
minister for
assistance.
All our
Q&Arevenue streams have dried up.
Our tax revenue has plummeted
to just 10% compared to
pre-corona period. While we
received ̀̀ 3,400 cr as tax in April
2019, the receipts are just ̀̀ 346
crore this April. The Centre has
been found wanting in helping
states which are the frontlines in
fighting the crisis.We have got a
meagre ̀̀ 157 crore as Central
assistance. Also, there is an
outstanding of ̀̀ 3,000 crore as
GST compensation.
Coming to the package
announced by the Centre, there
is all-round criticism.
On Kerala’s ties with Centre
The need of the hour is to have
united and joint action. We have
been coordinating with the
Centre to see that we can combat
the menace. We have not
hesitated in pointing out the
efforts needed, especially on the
economic front.

New Delhi: Behind Telangana’slow testing numbers, which havecome under the scanner of theCentre, is the state government’sinsistence to test only in govern-ment laboratories and not allowprivate diagnostic centres to testfor SARS-CoV-2.
Indian Council of Medical Rese-arch (ICMR) had allowed privatediagnostic centres to test forSARS-CoV-2 in March after cap-ping the price of the test at Rs4,500. However, Telangana stategovernment has still not allowedprivate laboratories to conductthese tests. ICMR has approved ni-ne government-owned laboratori-es and 11private diagnostic chainsin Telangana to conduct RT-PCRtest for SARS-CoV-2. The private
centres allowed in-clude Apollo ho-spitals, Vijaya di-agnostic centre,Vimta Labs, Dr Re-medies Labs, Path-care Labs, Ameri-can Institute ofPathology, MedcisPathlabs, ApolloHealth and Lifes-tyle, Departmentof Lab Medicine atYashoda hospital,
Biognosys Technologies and Te-net Diagnostics.
When contacted, a spokespersonof Vijaya Diagnostic centre, toldET over phone, “We have been app-roved by ICMR to conduct SARS-CoV-2 test but we are awaiting sta-te government’s approval. The go-vernment has to take a call whet-her to allow private laboratoriesor not.” The government has beencautious about the permissions. Asenior health services official sa-id, “So far we want to make surethere is strict protocol followed fortesting. Allowing private labora-tories would create panic amongpeople and would also allow priva-te hospitals to fleece the public.”
The tussle between the state go-vernment and private laboratorieshas also taken a political turn now.Governor Tamilisai Soundarara-jan has said that the governmentshould allow private laboratoriesto test for effective Covid-19 mana-gement. The governor has writtento chief minister K Chandrasek-har Rao asking private laboratori-es be allowed so that more samplescould be tested and the turnaroundtime for test results be reduced.

Centre Must Help RehabilitateWorkers Back From ForeignCountries, says Kerala CM
On Kerala not paying migrant
workers’ rail travel fare
They are guest workers. We have been
extending all support to them. Our
wages are high and we have welfare
schemes for them. We built residential
complexes for them. The issue is, who
should pay for their train fare to their
home states. We wanted the Centre to
bear the cost. The Congress can also
pick up the bill for it. I am surprised
that when there is a facility for the
Congress to foot the train fare, the
Opposition in our state is trying to
enact a drama. All expenses for the
logistics, like taking them to the
railway station, providing them food
packets and medical assistance, are
done by the state government.
Plans to revive the economy,

We have made representations to the

and joint action. We have been
coordinating with the Centre to see
that we can combat the menace. We
have not hesitated in pointing out the
efforts needed, especially on the
economic front.
Was the nationwide lockdown a
good idea?
Iam sure India had no other option.
However, now it is time to address the
serious economic repercussions.
The return of lakhs of workers from
West Asia is a challenge for Kerala,
and rehabilitating those who have lost
jobs can effectively work only with
the Centre’s help. Kerala’s CM Pinarayi
Vijayan, while pointing out that Kerala
received just`157 cr as Central
assistance, told Vasudha Venugopal
that work is on to secure the state’s
economy. Excerpts:
On ‘flattening the curve’
To a larger extent, we succeeded in
containing Covid-19. We have the
lowest mortality and highest
recovery rates, may be in the world.
Limiting people interface, protecting
the vulnerable, wide testing, contact
tracing, early detection, quarantine
and treatment for positive cases are
the protocols we put in place.
On challenges when the
non-resident Keralites arrive
Almost 4.5 lakh people want to return
from abroad. This is a big challenge for
asmall state like Kerala. The
department of Non-Resident
Keralites’ Affairs (NORKA) has drawn
up a comprehensive plan for the
return of expatriates. We have made
arrangements for 2.5 lakh beds for
quarantine. We have identified
hostels, convention centres and guest
houses near airports that can be used
as quarantine facilities. Similar
arrangements have been made at the
Kochi port for those coming by ships.
On economic model to rehabilitate
workers from Gulf
We have drawn up a plan with
experiences from other countries that
suit our state. A rehabilitation package
can be effective only if the Centre also
pitches in. We have a resilient and
first-class social infrastructure which can
attract investors. Already, there have
been many enquiries from many parts of
the world. Tourism, information
technology, bio-technology, healthcare
and education are the verticals which
bring us investments. The returnees have
rich expertise and knowledge.. We have
already announced a scheme of granting
licence in a week for new ventures. We
have also announced an agriculture
promotion scheme of`3,000 crore.

New Delhi: Madhya Pradeshhas announced a slew of labourreforms in a bid to attract invest-ments, boost industrial produc-tivity and handhold micro,small and medium enterprisesin the state.
In order to incentivise factori-es to begin operations and at-tract more companies, chief mi-nister Shivraj Singh Chouhanon Thursday made severalamendments to the labour lawsthat would create a fine balancebetween productivity and labo-ur rights.
Now, the factories can have a12-hour working day by payingfor 4 extra hours to the workers.Also, the registration of newunits have been simplified andwill be done ina day, earlier itused to take 30 days. The indust-rial units can file a single returninstead of 13 returns every year.
Another radical change is rela-ted to annual renewal of facto-ry's licence. This mandatoryprovision has been abolishedand all the factories will have toget renewal certificate once in 10years. In a significant relief toindustries, the provisions of the
