Mail News Service

Jamshedpur, May 22: The central Minister of Tribal Affairs, Arjun Munda today urged Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren for ensuring commencement of production in auto major Tata Motors� Jamshedpur plant.

This comes at a time when the national economy is reeling and is on life support due to the central government�s economic stimulus package. Until production commences at the Tata Motors plant, the ancillary industries in Kolhan Region, 80 percent of which are dependent on the auto major�s orders will continue to remain dormant in spite of the economic package announced.

Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda has, in a tweet mentioned, �I have had talks with Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on the industrial scenario especially in Jamshedpur. The recommencement of production will ensure the economic health of trade and commerce. I have particularly discussed the problems being faced by the ancillary industries which are dependent on Tata Motors and unless production resumes in the company�s Jamshedpur plant, these dependent industrial units will continue to remain dormant.

I hope the Chief Minister will think deeply over the matter as economic health largely depends on production of goods and services.�

Earlier, Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce and Industry had in a letter to the Chief Minister drawn his attention on the subject.
