'Killing of CEO is culmination of what IJMA wrote to WB govt'

Indian Jute Mills Association (IJMA) today termed the gruesome killing of North Brook Jute Mill CEO H K Maheswari as "ghastly" and said it was apprehensive of such a situation for the last six months.
"This ghastly incident is the culmination of what IJMA have been writing to the West Bengal government during the last six months," a press note issued by IJMA said here today.
The association in a meeting took note of the incident in the North Brook Jute Mill in which its CEO was killed by the agitated workers at Bhadreswar in West Bengal's Hooghly district yesterday.

Without the usual indent from the Centre during the months of February, March, April and May, 2014, the industry has been starving of orders and most mills had to cut its production, it said.
Several mills closed down during the period and have gradually opened anticipating fresh government orders after the monsoons, it added.
