The Utkal Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UCCI), an apex body of industry representatives in the state, has urged the state government for a special package for the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) affected due the severe cyclonic storm that struck the coastal Odisha on October 12.
"We request you to kindly advice the MSME department to make a study on the massive damage caused to the MSME units and bring out a proper package for their early rehabilitation. The hotel industries have also suffered a lot. SIDBI should be asked to sanction interest free loan to the affected industries on war footing and some kind of government grant may be extended to these units," Debabrata Dash, secretary, UCCI wrote to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
Officials in the MSME department said that the total loss of micro, small and medium enterprises is estimated at around Rs 60 crore due to Phailin and consequent floods.
