Sindh government sealed three manufacturing units in Karachi for violating standard operating procedures (SOPs) issued for factories operations to contain the spread of COVID-19 on Monday.
Spokesman to Sindh government Murtaza Wahab said that three factories have been sealed in the Korangi industrial area of Karachi for not following the SOPs set down by the government amid the coronavirus lockdown.
Operations at the factories were suspended for not maintaining social distancing between workers using the transport vehicles.
The sealed units include two medicine factories and one tea production factory. The government earlier had granted conditional permission to specific industries to resume their operations amid coronavirus lockdown.
Industrialists had been handed over standard operating procedures (SOPs) to be followed after opening their factories.
Industries allowed to resume operations were bound to implement the SOPs of the government, whereas, the industrialists will have to sign an undertaking regarding the procedures. Moreover, the owners will also be restricted to provide complete details of their workers.
