The Nagaland Legislative Assembly’s (NLA) Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU), 2020-21 has recommended that the Mini Cement Plant (MCP) in Wazeho, Phek be ‘operated/run’ by the State government instead of being privatized.
The government had decided to privatise the MCP but the idea did not materialise as private companies and parties could not enter into an MOA (Memorandum of Agreement) with the State Government. Due to this MCP could not generate any revenue. The Committee has called upon the department to identify potential markets and also strategise viable ways and means so that the State Government can penetrate into potential markets to generate revenue. The Committee further recommended that the concerned department consult the Food and Civil Supplies Department on reviving transport subsidy system and pursue the matter with the Central Government.
