Five Big Industries Shut in Bara

Dabur Nepal, Narayani Rolling Mills, Birgunj Food Industry,Triveni Impex and Pashupati Industries are the five big industries lying closed since three months due to labour dispute, industrial insecurity and lack of government support.

According to the Bara Chambers of Commerce and Industries (BCCI), the multinational company J Sons Pvt Ltd was run with the objective of preparing raw materials and exporting these to other countries. However, now the company is preparing to shift to India due to a land dispute. Ironically, barely two weeks ago the government promised the BCCI to provide a conducive environment for industries. Irked that the government has not bothered to get closed industries to resume functioning, industrialists are seeking safer options and locations for their investment.
BCCI president Shivanath Sharma accused the government of not taking initiatives to get the closed industries to resume functioning though Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', Home Minister Bamdev Gautam and Labour Minister Lekh Raj Bhatta promised industrialists just a week ago in Kathmandu to provide a secure business environment within seven days.
BCCI president Sharma said discussion on other points could be started if the workers agreed to the 'no work no pay' condition. Dabur Nepal is on the verge of displacing after the workers demanded 10 per cent bonus. It has been exporting multi-product items like juice, candy, toothpaste and cosmetic items to Bangaladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Germany and other European countries. According to the company, it is facing a loss of Rs 2 million a day due to the closure. Nearly 35,000 households are being sustained by the industries in Pathlaiya-Birgunj corridors, according to BCCI statistics.
Fuming at the government for not keeping its promise, BCCI president Sharma said, "We will soon hand over the keys of the industrial plants to the Home and Labour ministers and declare our programmes of agitation." At least, 250 small and big industries are based in the Pathlaiya-Birgunj corridor.
Meanwhile, agitating workers of Dabur Nepal said they were ready to abide by the decision made by the high-level committee formed by the government. "We have been coming to the factory for eight hours a day and will join work if the management reopens it," Dabur Nepal Workers' Union president Shivalal Chhetry said.
