Hind Paper stops work at Assam plant

HAILAKANDI (Assam), April 29 : Production at Hindustan Paper Corporation plant here has come to a standstill following lack of raw material supply from violence-hit North Cachar Hills district, causing jobs loss for 1,200 casual employees.

The paper mill, situated at Panchgram in Assam's Hailakandi district, gets its raw material ~ bamboo ~ from NC Hills and Upper Assam, but North-East Frontier Railways has suspended train services in the Lumding-Badarpur section following attack on railway property and personnel by Dima Halam Daoga (Jewel) militants.
