Express News Service CHENNAI: With the State getting ready to face polls, industries here have come up with several expectations from the government that will be sworn in after the elections. Hit by lockdown, small-scale industries are struggling due to labour crisis, raw material shortage and decline in cash flow. “The State has more than nine lakh Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, and many of them had been shut during the lockdown,” said TV Hariharan, Federation of Associations of Small Industries of India. Reeling under shortage of workforce as migrant workers have not returned and rising prices of raw materials and fuel and as a result transportation cost, the industries needed a helping hand from the government, he said.
