The Exhibition Organizers Association of South India has requested the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami to provide compensation, as their activities have come to a standstill.
“There are around 500 exhibitions conducted in all major, small and big cities in Tamil Nadu. Due to the adverse effect of COVID-19 outbreak, we were not able to do any exhibition for the past 2 months as the government has instructed not to do any public gathering activities,” it said in a statement.
The Association pointed out that most expos happen in the month of April and May, as a result a lot of people are in a bad situation, suffering without employment and money.
The Association said organizing expos in the near future has also become a question mark, and the organisers as well as the convention centre owners are facing a severe crisis.
