Real estate plans steps for construction amid lockdown in Maharashtra

Real estate developers are planning to take measures to ensure construction activities do not get impacted by the Maharashtra government's announcement to impose a partial lockdown in the state amid a surge of Covid-19 cases.

Construction will be allowed only at sites having residential facilities for workers. Outside movement from the sites will be avoided, except for transporting construction materials.

The government has notified that labourers need to get vaccinated at the earliest, and till their vaccination, they need to get their RT PCR test done.

The central government has stipulated construction workers to either get vaccinated at the earliest or carry a negative RT-PCR test result certificate, which will be valid for 15 days. Defaulters will have to pay a fine of Rs 10,000, and repeated defaults may lead to the site's closure.

According to real estate bodies, regular health check-ups and vaccination awareness programmes for workers are being conducted. RT-PCR test has also been made mandatory for all migrant workers returning from their hometowns as per government guidelines.

If a worker is found positive, he/she would be allowed medical leave and cannot be discontinued during the period of absence.
