    First question to be answered by the authorities is the company allowed to carry on its manufacturing activities under lock down? Does it come under essential commodities required for agriculture or grocery requirements?
    If they didn't why the authorities just ask it to be shut down while all other units are not allowed to work?

    I can tell you this is reaction of over zealousness of the local. Someone who is having vested interest must also be doubted. I know a seafood factory near Uttar Kannada which had stopped production in the factory but the cold storage was running . the villagers wanted even the cold storage to be shut where crores worth of products are kept. Sometimes, local people will always have problems with the companies and all problems need not be genuine.
