| Truckers hold Samba industry hostage | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Samba, Feb 4: The units of Industrial Estate, SIDCO at Samba have virtually closed down for want of raw material. A group of persons calling themselves Samba Truck Owners Union have blocked entry of trucks into the industrial complex.
An entrepreneur told Early Times that the truck owners enjoyed patronage of a political party. "The truckers face a lien period following conclusion of fruit season in Kashmir. To make good their loss, they have been urging the entrepreneurs to take tucks from them only against a hiked freight of Rs 27000 whereas they get the facility at Rs 15000 only.
"As the result of this siege there is no movement of material from the manufacturing units resulting in irrecoverable financial loss to the tune of crores of rupees along with loss of employment to around 10000 people, he said further alleging that local administration has failed to control the lawlessness.
The association of the entrepreneurs have registered an FIR and managed an order from a court directing the SSP to take appropriate action.. The matter has been taken upo with the higher authorities including the concerned DIG. However, the truckers continue to hold the business community hostage for their petty interests.
The association has urged immediate and appropriate action to save the industry from losses.
