He said that this had been enabled due to the instructions given by the Government to allow the supply chain to function with stringent adherence to Covid-19 regulations. 

“The Government has taken measures to ensure that the export factories as well as the supply chain are allowed to operate amidst the local curfews and lockdowns.”
