HP Industry Minister to hold talks with Adani group to end cement deadlock

Sunday, 05 February 2023 | PNS/Hamirpur | /Hamirpur

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Saturday said that to end the impasse created by the closure of two cement factories and indefinite strike by truck operators union, the state’s Industries Minister will hold talks with the Adani group to resolve the issue.

Sukhu, talking to the reporters at the NIT helipad during his three-day tour of his home district Hamirpur, said that the transporters’ union representing truckers engaged by the two Adani group-owned cement plants in Bilaspur and Solan districts have proposed their rates and concerned officers have been directed to fix a meeting with the factory management.

Two cement plants at Barmana (Bilaspur district) and Darlaghat (Solan district) owned by ACC Limited and Ambuja Cements, respectively, have been closed since December 14 due to a dispute over freight charges.

Taking a dig at BJP leaders, especially former Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on the issue of granting old pension scheme to the State Government employees, Sukhu said that this scheme had been implemented in toto and there was no question of ignoring it as it was one of the party’s main election plank.
