The officers and supervisors of PSU firm Hindustan Paper Corp's Cachar and Nagaon paper mills today requested the government to revive the units immediately by pumping in about Rs 900 crore. "The Nagaon unit's last production day was March 13 this year with an output of 270 tonnes against an installed capacity of 300 tonnes a day. If we keep the unit more non- functional, the investment to revive it will be higher," Nagaon Paper Mill (NPM) Officers' & Supervisors' Association President Hemanta Kakati said at a press conference here. The production at Cachar Paper Mill has been stopped since October 2015, he added. "Cachar staff have not got salaries since October 2016, while those at Nagaon are not paid since December last year.
