The once famous paper mill is unable to return to production due to a financial crisis, inability to purchase raw materials, and stagnation due to dilapidated machinery. As a result, more than two hundred workers, employees, and officials of the factory have fallen into uncertainty about their jobs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Karnaphuli Paper Mill authorities said that they are making all efforts to resume production. They also hope that the factory will be able to start paper production soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Karnaphuli Paper Mill sources, the production of Karnaphuli Paper Mill has been completely stopped since the beginning of last August. At one time, this factory used to produce about 100 metric tons of paper daily. Since 2017, the production has come down to only 10 to 20 metric tons. In the last month of July, the daily production of the factory was only 5 metric tons. From the beginning of August, the paper production process was completely stopped.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The source also said that the factory under Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation was closed mainly due to financial crisis, inability to procure raw materials financially, non-availability of local raw materials, dilapidated machinery, and above all, irregular conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">KPM Sramik Sangham Parishad (CBA) President Md. Abdur Razzak said that in 2017, the then MD, Dr. MA Quader, conspired with private companies to close down this paper mill. He closed the pulp manufacturing plant in his own way with local wood and bamboo to completely destroy the mills. The process of making paper with its own raw materials was also completely stopped at that time. Since 2017, the factory has been kept operational by importing pulp imported from abroad. Despite having the capacity to produce 70-80 metric tons of paper per day, the production capacity of the factory has been brought down to 5 to 10 metric tons by stopping the machines due to mismanagement. The factory is currently closed. As a result, officials, employees, and workers are in uncertainty about their jobs. If the mill does not operate, they will be unemployed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this context, General Manager (Production) of Karnaphuli Paper Mill, Moidul Islam, said, &#8220;The main raw material of paper production has been stopped in the factory for about one and a half months due to a pulp crisis and technical errors. We are making all-out efforts to resume production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This official expressed optimism that it will be possible to start production of paper in this factory soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaptai Correspondent: The production of Karnaphuli Paper Mills (KPM) located at Chandraghona in Kaptai has been stopped for almost one and a half months.
