THE HINDU: Expert group suggest change in zonal colour approach in Rajasthan

Press/Media: Research

Description

Various activist groups, working under the banner of Jan Prayas and headed by development economist Bina Agarwal from the University of Manchester, said here on Wednesday that the zonal colour approach would be ineffective because asymptomatic persons in a green zone could infect others and, in turn, the supply chains that ran across zones. “Industries should be allowed to open up in all zones, including red zones, as long as they have a starting pool of green workers,” they said.
