Lassipora industrialists demand full-fledged GM for DIC Pulwama

As the District Industries Centre (DIC), Pulwama remains headless for more than a year, Unit holders at Industrial Growth Centre, Lassipora and other places in the district are finding it difficult to get their routine work done and demanded immediate placement of a full-fledged general manager at the centre.   

The unit holders at IGC said that the GM of DIC, Pulwama wastransferred in May 2018 without a replacement. Later on the project manager atthe centre was made in charge of DIC. However, last month the charge of DIC wasgiven to ADC, Pulwama.  “Charge of GMPulwama has been handed over to ADC, Pulwama as an additional charge last monthand since then we haven’t witnessed his presence at the designated office atDIC, Pulwama,” read a statement issued by the Industrialists Association,Lassipora.

   

“Unit holders have to wait for much longer time sometime forwhole long day because ADC on additional charges as GM is not able to show hispresence at DIC office and most of the unit holders need to go to his office atDC office Pulwama to get their work done or documents signed,” said MohammadMuzaffer, Senior Vice President FCIK, according to a statement.

He said non-availability of the key officer, who isresponsible for the majority of the decision at the DIC, is adversely affectingthe people who are in the process of opening the new units. Besides it deflatesthe government’s ease of doing business initiative balloon, as industrialistsare not able to complete different official procedures and process their wok,he added.

“Government should understand that J&K biggestindustrial estate IGC Lassipora falls in district Pulwama and DIC Pulwama isone of the busiest offices among all the centres. So we urge government tounderstand the intensity of workload and appoint a full-fledged GM within notime,” said Bashir Ahmad, caretaker president of IGC, Lassipora.
