Dhanbad: The acute power crisis prevailing since December 6 in seven districts of Jharkhand including Dhanbad, Bokaro, Giridih, Koderma, Chatra, Hazaribagh and Ramgarh caused due to load shedding being carried out by Damodar Valley Corporation is weighing heavy of over 2000 small and medium industries operating in these districts.
Worst is the situation of large number of hard coke factory owners of Dhanbad, Giridih and Ramgarh and also large number of pig iron and TMT bar industries of Giridih and iron based industries of Balidih in Bokaro etc which are lying on the verge of closure due to production losses.
No better is the situation of thousands of traders operating in these districts including the wholesalers and retailers of different products as the diesel generator operation cost is causing huge losses to them.
DVC has started carrying out load shedding in seven districts of Jharkhand since December 6 in order to realize it’s pending dues worth over Rs 2100 crore lying over Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL).
Talking to The Telegraph Online, Pramod Kumar Goyal, General Secretary of Bak More Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dhanbad said, “The over 300 industries of Dhanbad right from the Hard Coke industries to plastic products industry, soft coke industry, electrical gadjets manufacturing industries lying lying in Kandra are passing through the most difficult times since December 6 and the state government has the same excuse laying blame on of DVC as if it unconcerned with the industrial development of the state.”
“We are in devil and deep sea situation as we can neither close down our units nor can properly operate it due to power crisis severely crippling the smooth operation of the industries” said Goyal adding they would raise the issue with JBVNL general manager this evening.
Echoing sentiments, Sanjay Baid, President of Bokaro Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, “Over 250 industries operating from Balidih based industrial park of Bokaro Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA) are facing great difficulties due to power crisis since last over two months with state government lying as mute spectator.”
“The commissioning of the Jaina More based grid is pending due to lack of clearance by forest department for laying of electric poles and we can’t understand why the government could not solve problem by coordinating with the forest department,” charged Baid.
