It gives me immense happiness that our real estate developers @NaredcoNational & @CREDAINational have come up with their own guidelines in tune with the guidelines issued by MHA/ MoH&FW for restarting work at construction sites to ensure safety of the labour.
I thank them for taking good care of all the workers, who are backbone of construction industry by providing them housing near the sites, hygienic food, necessary medical & financial assistance & taking all other safety precautions to protect them from COVID-19.
I congratulate NAREDCO for getting Hon’ble MoS(IC), HUA to unveil video on their guidelines.
It is not only the labour but all urban poor whose livelihoods have been affected due to COVID-19. We should take care of all these important contributors to urban economy.

Our cities have made significant efforts for proper sanitation & fumigation of all public, commercial & residential places by using innovative ways. Places which are considered risk prone for local spread of Coronavirus are being given special attention.

Citizens’ awareness campaign on COVID-19 prevention are being carried out with the help of Solid Waste Management vehicles across residential areas of cities. Sanitization of entire cities is under way using fogging, anti-larva spray & disinfectant spray.
A mixture of hypochlorite solution, bleaching powder, disinfectants & chemicals are being used by cities for sanitizing all wards. These best practices will go a long way in breaking the chain of Coronavirus & helping in curbing the spread among local communities.
Today, the whole world is in the grip of Covid-19 pandemic. In these challenging times, our cities are doing their best to keep their citizens safe & break the chain of infection.

Dashboard gets feeds from 298 ‘point-tilt-zoom’ surveillance cameras installed at 85 locations across the city. Another Helpline Dashboard SARATHI (System of Assisting Residents and Tourists Through Helpline Information) has also been developed.
Grateful to Hon’ble FM Smt @nsitharaman ji for announcing relief measures in the interest of homebuyers to issue Advisory to States/UTs & Regulatory Authorities to automatically extend registration of all real estate projects due for completion after 25th March by 6 months.
This will be done by invoking ‘force majeure’ clause under RERA for COVID-19 pandemic. Regulatory Authorities may extend the timeline further upto 3 months, if the situation in the State/ UT or part thereof, so warrants.

Due to nationwide lockdown, reverse migration of labourers & disruption in the supply of construction materials, projects were halted in India & will take quite some time to revive in full swing. This extension will provide relief from unnecessary litigations & stress on projects

It is heartening to note that work on construction of 2,800 flats under slum redevelopment project of Delhi Development Authority in Kathputli Colony has commenced in these testing times when the whole country is under lockdown because of the spread of COVID19 pandemic.
It is really nice to see the spirit of construction workers in delivering the flats to the slum dwellers at the earliest. Construction also includes site for skilling the inmates in their trade and promote their livelihood opportunities.
All the protocols regarding social distancing and prescribed precautions to break the chain of infectious CoronaVirus are being observed.
Mandatory thermal scanning at all entry and exit gates is being done to check body temperature.

Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh has come up with mobile hand washing units & Ghaziabad is using mounted wash basins on rickshaws for not just slum dwellers but also frontline workers, who are on the move in providing essential services to the citizens.
Bhopal & Andaman & Nicobar Islands have also come up with wash basins that may be operated through foot lever & thus avoids any sort of hand contact. I am sure such innovations are no more uncommon & will help us in curbing the spread of #COVID19 infection.

Cities are coming up with smart innovations & improvisations to boost India's fight against COVID-19. I am delighted to see how Surat MC has set an example by converting a 2 lakh sqft Multilevel Parking into a 540 bedded Isolation Centre in the campus of SMIMER Hospital.
SMIMER hospital itself has been transformed into one of the biggest Dedicated COVID Health Centres with 750+247 beds. Earlier Surat Municipal Corporation developed ‘SMC COVID-19 Tracker’ for tracking all persons suspected of being infected by Corona Virus.

I congratulate Surat Municipal Corporation on its smart thinking & execution. Such innovative measures by Surat or other cities should inspire ULBs. They should learn from each other on how to make optimum use of resources & strengthen India's fight against this deadly pandemic.

This Portal has been created by authorities to track & monitor relief activities regularly. Volunteers are assisting MCG in services such as food distribution, sanitization, awareness creation, etc. Over 12 NGOs have joined this effort & adopted the slum areas.
I am particularly happy that special attention is being paid to the emotional & mental well being of children & adults in these times when everyone needs this kind of support. MCG has established helplines for citizens for this purpose.

Ongoing crisis of Corona Pandemic & the nationwide lockdown to prevent the virus infection from spreading in chain has led to loss of employment in various sectors. Some works with in-situ available labour in non-containment urban areas are commencing from tomorrow.
Various prescriptions/precautions will be strictly observed.

The safety & well being of sanitation workers, our true Swachhata Warriors, who are protecting us during this pandemic by maintaining cleanliness & hygiene, is the most important & foremost concern of @MoHUA_India.
In this regard, my Ministry in collaboration with some of our partners like @UNDP_India are taking every possible step to spread awareness on issues like proper ways of waste collection & working collectively to minimize effects of #COVID19 crisis in the lives of our Safai Mitras
Collaboration is key when it comes to managing the #COVID19 crisis.

We are caught up in an unprecedented scenario that has captured the whole world in its grip. In these crucial times, we need to take up measures that would help us in reviving our economy & all industry & business sectors.
Held discussions with 2600 leading real estate developers of the country today through a video conference. We discussed several issues that are prevalent during lockdown & measures being taken to overcome those issues.
I requested all stakeholders & real estate developers to pay special attention to their labour force & workmen in this time when the projects have been temporarily suspended. I was told that all arrangements have been put in place for their safety.
