The NCP supremo noted that the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown placed to contain the spread of the deadly virus is likely to cause revenue loss to the educational institutes which can possibly lead to their collapse.
Sharad Pawar has called for drawing up an action plan to incorporate unemployed Marathi youth in the industrial sector where new opportunities have opened as the migrant workers and labourers have migrated to their native places.
The veteran leader further stated that the shops, offices, private sector establishments should open in phases and it was important to restore normalcy steadily by relaxing certain lockdown-related conditions.
Moreover, the NCP chief tweeted that ministers and officials should be issued orders to ensure that they are present in their offices which will provide confidence to people that the situation in the state is returning to normalcy.
