Gym owners petition Tirupur District Collector to permit reopening of gyms
Tirupur: Gym owners in Tirupur petitioned the District Collector requesting permission to reopen gyms in the district.
The COVID-19 lockdown that had been enforced for the past two months mandated gyms to be closed down until further orders from the government. Currently, the fifth phase of the lockdown has been extended until June 30.
Gym owners have mentioned that the lockdown has hurt their livelihood badly and insisted that permission must be granted to reopen gyms. They petitioned the Tirupur District Collector regarding the reopening of gyms and have also requested that they must be provided with relief funds until the gyms are permitted to reopen.
In the petition, they have also detailed the safety and precautionary measures that would undertake if the gyms were permitted to function.
