Industries in Punjab feel the pinch

The impact of ongoing pro quota Jat stir in Haryana is being felt on Punjab’s industry and traders who are facing shortage of raw materials and a halt in dispatches of finished products to other states, causing heavy financial losses. “We are feeling the pinch of Jat reservation agitation in Punjab here. Almost all verticals of the industry have been adversely impacted,” United Cycle Parts and Manufacturers Association, President Charanjit Singh Vishivkarma said.
