| NEWS NOTES Jobs in the Haldia family
Staff reporter T he Haldia petrochemical Project will be on stream in the January of next year while the various plants will be opened in phases before that. In November, the naptha cracker plant is to be opened, according to state information minister Buddadev Bhattacharya.Bhattacharya made this statement after a high-level meeting with the managing director of the Haldia project Tapan Mitra, MP Lakhsman Seth and the finance minister Asim Dasgupta.Bhattacharya said that many people would be jobless after the completion of the Haldia project and that 6,000 of the 14,000 employees in the construction sector had already lost their jobs. Almost 2,00 more would stand to lose their jobs soon. The state government had thus decided that those families who had lost land because of the project would get a job per family and that these people would be trained in the technical aspects. The training would be imparted at the IIT branchhouse in Haldia. The minister said that there would be no compromise on the qualifications of those being employed in Haldia. Meanwhile, offers to set up small units revolving around the main project is flooding the state government even as the main project marches towards completion. Plastic manufacturers are a frontrunner since there is a huge demand of polythene and related material in the entire eastern region. Thus a major work ethics and atmosphere is growing around the Haldia aspiration. |
