‘Advisors appointed to hasten the sale of VSP’
The Visakha Ukku Parirakshana Porata Committee has demanded making public the discussions between the Steel Secretary, Chairman and Managing Director of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant(VSP) and 45 officials at the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) meet organised in Delhi. Addressing the media here on Friday, the committee leaders demanded that the Centre revoke its decision to privatise the VSP failing which a strike would be held on June 29 to expose the ‘dictatorial policies’ of the Centre. They recalled that the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) had announced its decision on strategic sale of the VSP on January 29 this year. Advisors were appointed to hasten the sale of the plant, they said.More Related News
