Ranchi: The nationwide rollout of Covid-19 vaccine on Saturday made the trade and industry bodies of the state hope for normalcy in business with many still battling the aftereffects of the lockdown imposed in March last year. In Jharkhand, extended lockdowns across sectors remained in force for months despite unlock at the national level.
Vice-president of the Federation of Jharkhand Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FJCCI) Kishore Mantri said they are expecting economic activities to gain pace. “Even after the phased unlock, the entire business and economic activities are still to return to the pre-covid level. But after the vaccination started, we can finally see light at the end of tunnel,” Mantri said, adding that they are keeping fingers crossed over the efficacy of the vaccine.
