NASHIK: The industries in Nashik, which bore the brunt of violence after MNS chief Raj Thackeray���s arrest in Mumbai, have suffered losses to the tune of Rs 400 crore.
The incidents of stone-pelting, arson and exodus of north Indian workers from the region have hit the local industries hard, Prashant Sathe, general secretary of Nashik Industries Manufacturers��� Association (NIMA), said here on Friday. This can prove to be a blessing in disguise for the youths of the region who can now find jobs, Mr Sathe added.
Dhananjay Bele, president of Ambad Industrial Manufacturers��� Association (AIMA) said ���We are facing a big problem after many North Indians have quit.��� At least 40% of the industries, especially the small-scale ones, have been badly affected, he said.
There are over 200 big industries and 1500 small units scattered over both satpur and ambad industrial belts in the region.
Bhele said ten per cent of small-scale units are nearly closed, and if the labour problem continues, others too might be badly affected.
Non-availability of labourers, farmers and traders in major agriculture markets of lasalgaon was also felt as auctions of food grains, agricultural-produces were affected.
Vijay devre, city president of ncp youth wing said that if north indians want to resume their work we will provide them adequate security through police.
Meanwhile, both nima and aima have jointly appealed to the unemployed youths to come forward and take the benefit of this opportunity.
The violence may affect the grape business in the region also as earlier it was mostly the traders from uttar pradesh who purchased it in bulk from nashik. Now, they may think again, sources said. Pti hvj ama mpb 02152006 del
