All the unions and associations of Hindustan Paper Corporation (HPC) have arrived at an agreement with the Assam government for bailing out the workers of two closed paper mills in the State.
The Cachar Paper Mill at Panchgram in southern Assam’s Hailakandi district and the Nagaon Paper Mill at Jagiraod in central Assam’s Morigaon district have been closed since October 2015 and March 2017.
“Finally reached an agreement with the workers and employees of the HPC to resolve long-pending issues of their salaries and dues,” Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said after the four-hour meeting with the unions that ended at 2 a.m. on September 29.
