SILCHAR, March 10 - Barak Valley-based students� organisation All Cachar Karimganj Hailakandi Students� Association (ACKHSA) has set a deadline for the Government to release pending salaries of the employees of Cachar Paper Mill.
Talking to reporters on today, Rupam Nandi Purakaystha, chief advisor of the students� body said the sufferings of the mill employees and their families are beyond words and the Government must make immediate arrangements to release their pending salaries.
�For years together, a syndicate had called the shots in dragging the solitary heavy industry in Barak Valley into a defunct asset now. We want a thorough probe into the anomalies and a CBI enquiry shall unearth the foul play. If the Government fails to respond to the demands, we shall resort to massive agitation,� Purakaystha maintained.
Further, members of the students� association also demanded that the Silchar Railway Station should be renamed as �Bhasha Shaheed Station Silchar.�
