Himachal Industries in Crisis: Jai Ram Thakur

Published

on

Jai Ram Thakur, leader of the Opposition and a former Chief Minister, has accused the Himachal Pradesh government of placing undue stress on local industries. In a statement released from Shimla on Saturday, Thakur expressed concern for the steel industry, which he claims has been struggling due to excessive electricity rates imposed by the government—rates that are higher than those in neighboring states. He noted that many steel units have halted operations and are pleading for governmental assistance.In reference to Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s initiative called ‘Vyavastha Parivartan’, Thakur remarked that a government that prioritizes change should also demonstrate compassion.

“Entrepreneurs are increasingly vocal about the harsh decisions made by the government. When representatives from the steel industry visited the Chief Minister’s office, they conveyed that within just two years, government-imposed rate increases have made operating factories unsustainable,” he stated.

He criticized the government’s approach, asserting that targeting industries is detrimental to the state’s welfare. Thakur questioned how the government could abandon its promise to provide industrialists with electricity rates lower than those of neighboring states, emphasizing the reciprocal nature of such commitments.

“What is the government aiming to achieve by creating such challenging circumstances for industries? What do they expect in return?” he asked, urging the government for clarification on its intentions.

Thakur emphasized that harming industries does not serve the state’s interests, as they play a crucial role in generating revenue and providing both direct and indirect employment to millions of people.

“In Himachal Pradesh, over one hundred thousand individuals are directly employed in steel production. Therefore, the government cannot gain by burdening the industrial sector; it needs to reconsider its approach,” he concluded.
