Construction sector may reopen after April 20: Bengaluru police chief Bhaskar Rao

Bengaluru police chief Bhaskar Rao visited migrant workers at a camp on Friday evening and sought to reassure them that the government is there to help them during the Covid-19 crisis.

Rao went to the labourers’ camp at Mallasandra, off Kanakapura Road, in southern Bengaluru and urged the workers not to lose hope and keep in touch with their loved ones by phone.

Holding out hope that the construction sector could reopen after April 20, he asked the workers to stay up for a few more days. “We have to wait and watch. If directions come from the government, the construction sector will reopen. Otherwise, you will have to wait for some more days,” he added.
