Jayshree Chemicals to source salt locally

BERHAMPUR: Caustic soda producer Jayshree Chemicals Limited (JCL), an S K Bangur Group company, has agreed to procure locally produced salt from Bahuda Salt Production and Sales Cooperative Society (BSPSCS) based in Ganjam district. JCL was mainly sourcing salt from Gujarat owing to inferior quality of the local salt. Initially, the company will procure 1,000 tonnes of salt from the cooperative society on an experimental basis. If the salt is found to be suitable to run the plant, some 40 km from here, the company will go for further procurement. This was decided at a meeting between the officials of JCL, BCPSCS and the district officials, presided over by Ganjam collector Krishan Kumar.
