SAMBA: Bari Brahmana Industrial Association (BBIA) on Tuesday flayed the callous attitude of Power Development Department (PDD) in sanctioning new connections to industrial units.
In a meeting held under the presidentship of Annil Suri, President BBIA, the members condemned casual attitude of Power Development Department towards Industrial Sector in sanctioning new connections / additional load in favour of the units located in SIDCO Industrial Complex, Bari Brahmana.
The members expressed resentment towards the delay tactics adopted by the office of the power development commissioner for not holding the meeting since last six months for the sanction of new connections/additional load of the Industrial Units.
Suri said that the industrial unit holders are suffering very badly as they have already invested crores of rupees on the industrial plant and machinery and sitting idle in absence of power connections inspite of load available at 50X2 MVA Station at Bari Brahmana.
“The Development Commissioner Power is not bothered for the government orders for time bound clearance of power sanction cases which clearly shows the negative attitude of the Department towards the Industrial Sector which is providing employment to lakhs of youths in the State”, members rued.
The meeting appealed to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene in the matter and issue necessary orders to clear the pending cases for providing succour to the Industrial Sector.
