Noida: The workforce at Noida Special Economic Zone (NSEZ) has shrunk to 5,000 from the original strength of 50,000. The city’s entrepreneurs claim that most migrant workers have left for their villages even when factories are not shut down officially.

Ajay Goel, president of Noida Special Economic Zone Welfare Association (NSEZWA), told TOI that even though factories have been allowed to operate amid the second wave of Covid-19, many migrant labourers have left for their home towns.
“The headcount in factories has been on a steady decline over the past few weeks. This week, we just have around 5,000 people reporting to work and even though they are coming to the factories, the workflow itself has been affected because the supply chain of raw materials stands disrupted.

There are 40 beds at the cafeteria, of which 35 are occupied. The facility is not, however, equipped to handle critical patients. It has basic medical infrastructure to help patients with mild infection recuperate in case they can’t get a hospital bed. It has been operational since April 24.
A Tech Mahindra spokesperson said, “Initially, we created this facility to help our employees and their family members, but we did not restrict ourselves and have accommodated anyone who reached out to us as information spread. We have a basic setup in place, to help people isolate and recuperate. Fortis doctors are on call and there is manageable oxygen support. It is a very small number, but we w
