BASANT’S COVID-19 RESPONSE
The outbreak of COVID-19 has turned into a worldwide pandemic. Every affected country has been forced to take emergency measures to control its spread even at the cost of its economy India, too, had to enforce at a 21 days lockdown which has been now been extended till 03rd May after which a decision on further action will be taken by the Govt of India. Currently, all production activity has been closed down. Such a situation, requires us to be stronger together and for everyone to do their part. We have learned that one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of the virus is to maximise social distancing. And we request everyone to understand the seriousness of the situation and follow all the safety protocols issued. We need to temporarily close our production activity till 03rd May, 2020.As the priority right now for BASANT is to protect its employees and customers.
However, some departments of BASANT continue to function on “work-from-home” basis. Thus, our Merchandising team and our website will remain open and active to provide quick response to any of your queries and will remain committed to providing the best possible service to you, our customers. Shipments may experience slight delays as our delivery partners navigate the additional demand for their services and the well-being of their teams. We will keep you informed of the developments in this regard.
The severity of the COVID-19 virus cannot be underestimated, and we deeply appreciate the commitment of all who are addressing and fighting this health emergency.
We will follow the advice given by healthcare providers, and comply with the guidelines issued by the public health authorities. We also encourage everyone to take care of their health and their communities by following the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) and their public healthcare authorities.
We are eager to get back in full throttle and meeting our customers’ requirements. And We thank you all for practicing social distancing at home. We stand united in this fight and will get through this together.
