Madurai: While it was stated that Central government offices in the state would start functioning from April 20, the Madurai district administration is awaiting clear instructions from the state government.

Sources at the Madurai Railway division said that they were in the process of resuming work from Monday, when they received a communication saying that the state government would take a decision on functioning of offices and industries, based on the expert committee’s report, which is submitted to it.

Madurai district collector Dr T G Vinay said that they expect to get clear guidelines on this from the government on Monday. 

He also said that even if offices are permitted to function, workers and employees living in the containment zones in the district would not be given passes.

Some post office employees have said that they would report for duty, as directed by the chief postmaster general. They had raised their concerns with the heads, they said.
