Backward Classes Welfare Minister Ch. Venu Gopala Krishna on Thursday stated that the State government was studying the impact of partial lockdown on the people seeking out a livelihood from their traditional occupations. Mr. Venu Gopala Krishna has received inputs from the agriculture workers, paddy porters, traditional toddy tappers on the impact of the partial lockdown on their daily life and the occupation. The Minister is also set to meet the handloom weavers to examine the existing marketing system and impact on the daily work and trade in his own assembly segment, Ramachandrapuram in East Godavari district. “I have been receiving the inputs from the people associated with various traditional occupations on the impact of COVID-19 restrictions and partial lockdown on their regular life. The idea of understanding the impact of the lockdown is to explore options to extend any support from the State government”, said Mr. Venu Gopala Krishna.
