Haryana Congress president Kumari Selja said on Monday that small and medium enterprises would need a helping hand from the government as these were among the sectors that had been adversely hit due to the lockdown over the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Selja said these industries were the backbone of the economy and generated huge employment.
"These industries have been adversely hit. They don't have that kind of buffer that they can go on for long in this situation without government help," Selja told PTI over phone. "To get back into business, they will surely need a helping hand from the government."
