Pondicherry
By Our Staff Reporter
PONDICHERRY, MARCH 15. The Swadeshi Cotton mills and the Sri Bharathi Mills here, now under the control of the National Textiles Corporation (NTC), will be handed over to the Pondicherry Administration, according to the Pattali Makkal Katchi Parliamentary Party leader, M. Ramadass. He said in a release here today that he had held discussions with officials of the Union Textiles Ministry in New Delhi yesterday focussing on the problems encountered by the two mills. The officials informed him that the two mills would be handed over to the Pondicherry Administration on April 1. Mr. Ramadass said that the NTC and Pondicherry Administration would sign the documents to transfer the two mills to the Pondicherry Government in a week's time. The PMK leader claimed that there would be no financial commitment to the Administration when the two undertakings of the NTC were transferred to the territorial administration. He said as soon as he had received representations from leaders of different trade unions of the two mills on the predicament of the mills he kept persuading the Centre to ensure that the two mills were brought under the control of Pondicherry Textiles Corporation (PTC), which had been running the AFT mill here. Mr. Ramadass appealed to the Administration to bring the Cooperative Spinning Mills in Pondicherry and the Jayaprakash Narain Spinning mill in Karaikal also under the PTC so that job opportunities would be expanded and economy of the Union Territory would improve. He argued that all the textile mills here should be modernised to boost textile production in the Union Territory. He thanked the Union Textiles Minister for his positive gesture to save the two mills and the workers attached to them by bringing them under the purview of the PTC.
