"The company will incur biggest ever loss this
fiscal (2011-12)," a company official told reporters.
He said there was substantial erosion of the networth of the
company. At the end of March, 2010, the company's networth stood at
Rs 2,097 crore.
Asked whether HPL would approach the Board for Industrial and
Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) for erosion of networth, the
official said, "The board may or may not report to BIFR. A decision
will be taken at the meeting scheduled for March 27".
The official said that recurring shutdowns, depressed margins and a
weak market had taken a toll on the financial performance of the
company.

HALDIA: A
Haldia court on Tuesday remanded former CPM MP
Lakshman Seth and senior party leaders Ashok Guria and Amiya Sau in
three days' CID custody.
Haldia additional chief judicial magistrate
Sarbani Mullick Chatterjee, however, turned down a CID plea for 10
days' custody. Prohibitory orders were clamped on
Haldia court premises on Tuesday, but it didn't
deter hundreds of protestors from gathering near the court with
brooms and shoes. There, however, was no untoward incident, thanks
to the presence of a strong police contingent.

Haldia , March 20: The name of Bengal
industries minister Partha Chatterjee is set to be proposed for the
board of Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd (HPL), an unparalleled move that

Haldia: The state government
is likely to take a call against exiting Haldia

Now, state government holds 43% stake in HPL. There was a strong
speculation that the state will exit HPL, which was further fuelled
by the government's decision to value its stake in the company.
Besides, TCG - the co-promoter of HPL - Reliance Industries and
Indian Oil too were keen to buy government's stake in the
company.
Sources close to the development said that there were a couple of
meetings in last one month among government officials and they

Haldia : Captive power players—companies that
set up their own power plants in order to supply energy to their
manufacturing operations—have for the last few years hoped to
outgrow their boots and become major power brokers on the national
stage, supplying power to the grid, amongst others. At the end of
2011, 19,509 Mw of captive power generation capacity was added —
around 10 per cent of the country’s total generation capacity of
186,655Mw. Many of them already send more than half of what they
generate to the grid while others hope to effect a similar
transition.
Yet, those plans and ambitions are beginning to take a back seat
because of an acute shortage in fuel supply that till now rocked

“Some delegates from Hooghly (where Singur is located) today

They said both the leaders had adamantly and unnecessarily pursued

three of its units for annual maintenance, coupled with firm global

rise is not propelled by demand in the domestic market but mostly
by cuts in capacities by producers of polymers.
Imports have also become expensive, due to a surge in demand from

The move has come as a relief to big investors, particularly in the
steel industry, who are yet to get the land under their possession

The relaxation - once approved by chief minister Mamata Banerjee -

Haldia February 5, 2012:

(under Kolkata Port Trust) as well as the progress of projects in
the pipeline was reviewed at a high-level meeting at Haldia
presided over by the Union Minister of State for Shipping and
attended by senior officials of the port.
There was little to cheer about the performance, it
was revealed at the meeting. The traffic throughput so far in the
current fiscal has been lower by around 10 per cent vis-à-vis the
same period last year.
While iron ore is considered the major villain, the
throughputs of a few other cargoes too leave much to be desired.

HALDIA: After former CPM minister Sushanta
Ghosh, CID now is spreading its net around CPM's former Haldia
strongman Lakshman Seth and a host of East Midnapore CPM leaders.
But the long rope police extended to its officers in the Garbeta
skeleton case just by suspending three officers for their alleged
role may not be possible in the Nandigram recapture case.
Critical to the investigation is a general dairy entry (GDE) on
November 8, 2007 by none other than the Nandigram OC, detailing
who'd ordered police to remove the picket on Tekhali bridge just
two days before a CPM-led "recapture" bid that left nine persons
dead and 15 injured and exposed the involvement of the police top
brass in the incident.

To expedite the process of land acquisition for
this project, South Eastern Railway (SER) has paid an additional Rs

selected 196 people for jobs in the railways. And this is only for
about 50% of the land that needs to be acquired.

While the promoters of Haldia Petrochemicals
Ltd (HPL)—the West Bengal government and The Chatterjee Group

led by managing director Partha S. Bhattacharyya is struggling to
avoid reporting the company as potentially sick.
Bhattacharyya’s efforts to pare losses have been hobbled by
recurrent plant shutdowns. The firm is facing the fifth shutdown
since the former chairman of Coal India Ltd took over the reins on
1 April. The company’s engineers blame the snarls on faulty
implementation of the capacity expansion programme, internally
called Project Supermax, on which HPL had spent at least Rs.1,300

Near Patikhali, near the place where Hooghly Met coke factory is being established , there was a Ferry Ghat: Phool Bari. It was also near the local market of "Bahanlari". Now there is no existence of both the"Phool Bari" & the market of ":Bahanlari". It was a source of connection for the local people with Sagar Islands. |
In the official documents of Calcutta Port Trust related to the establishment of "Haldia Dock", Haldi river is written as "RIVER HALDIA".
Is it by mistake? |
The old Zamindar house of Debhog is now inside the Renuka Sugar Refinery Plant. Very few people are aware that it was the home of famous historian Dr.Amalesh Tripathi. In 1936 he stood first in the School Matriculation Examination(jointly for Bengal, Bihar & Orissa) from Tamluk Hamilton High School.
This building was constructed by his father.It was kept deserted for a long time and a point of curiosity to the local people. |
Gokul Refoil Solvent Ltd. is under construction near the oldest temple of DoroDubnan Pargana. It was a temple of lord Krishna---a legend from Gokul!

now inside the boundary of HFC.
Now this is not in use, surrounded by jungle, even I could not

This is located at Nayachar and the only brick-made building in this island..Local fisher men call it "TupiGhar" because of its "dome" like shape.
This is the Office of WB Govt (dept.of Fisheries). |
Ultimately Gokul Refoil demolished the oldest temple for the sake of their plant.
It's a shame to us that we can not save our heritage place. It could have been transformed to a tourist -spot for the visitors at Haldia, but we simply forget it and allowed to demolish the spot. |
.jpg) Only the river knows why people called it "Huldee". In the official documents of British period, the spelling for this river was written as "Huldee". Some people say , its water is yellowish and this is the reason of its name.

This was the world's first underwater telegraph line . |

Once the principal town town of Doro pargana had a big market at Kukrahati. Even today the market exists in a different form. It's near the river, near the village and often sailors landed here for purchasing of hens/cocks & vegetables. Heard from the elder people that in early 1900 s, people used to go to the market with their bulls burdened with rices & returned home with vegetables, salts ,chicken etc. |

In 1864 AD devastating cyclone killed 3/4 of its population at Doro pargana. Farmers lost their land due to saline water. Very few people were alive to receive the Government aid. |
