How Local Transporter are helpful during lockdown

The problem of the availability of essential goods in this time of crisis is the biggest challenge in front of the administration.  The 21 days of lockdown all across the nation have triggered the scarcity of essential foods for the people. The parameters of this crisis lockdown are different in the diverse states. This is where the nearby transporters are helpful during this major lockdown.

The local transporters can be very useful for transferring

• Vegetable, groceries, milk products and fish shops will stay open as all the essential commodities will reach the local vendors, which in turn will have to be supplied to the doorstep of everyone
• All the canteens across the nation will have to stay open and in turn require raw materials to prepare food
• All the restaurants can offer food through takeaway and all the local transports are playing a major role here
• The Govt also announced that the transit between districts is restricted and this is one of the major reasons local transporters are being helpful in transporting the essential goods

In this fast-changing situation where the Corona pandemic is having a great impact on the day to day life of the people, the Government is trying to contact the transport companies of India, so that the businesses grow by the hour.

• The urgent concern for all the local transporters is to keep supply chains going, particularly for all the essentials grocery, vegetables, and medical items in the safest possible way for all the citizens of the country and at the same time following all the guidelines laid down by the government. 
• The Local transporters are also doing their best and are trying to cope up in this crisis situation. All the local transporters are realizing their social responsibility in this emergency juncture. 

The economic stress is high and mounting on both the employees and the employers of the companies. They are working hard to stay buoyant, on the other hand carrying out supply chains and working of the essential workforce rely on them staying in business.
