Managing Director of Government owned JK Cements Limited, R K Sharma Tuesday said work at the Cement plant will resume tomorrow (Wednesday).
Following the huge demand of cement in the construction market and pleas for his customers, MD JK Cements said if any untoward situation arises owing to the protest by locals, he will be “forced to get help from local police” as he says he has taken up the matter with the government.
Talking to KNS, Sharma added that the locals have complaints with the cements plants owned by private players, but they are “stalling our work without any reason”.
“Our plant functions in proper pollution free environment.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelWe have installed modern technology which has reduced the pollution to negligible levels. Still we are here to take care of peoples’ genuine concerns. They should not take recourse to agitations and work-stalling tactics, but come forward to discuss their issues with us,” he said.
The MD added that because of no production in the plant number of development works going on in Srinagar and in other parts of Valley have been badly hit. “Every day we generate 70-80 trucks of cement and in past four days the liability of cement has piled up. We have pressure from our customers, but we were unable to meet the demand,” Sharma said.
