The Industries and Commerce Association (ICA) in a letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee has requested to intervene alleging that the police of state were harassing hard coke plant owners willing to sell product in state on different pretexts .
ICA, an association of hard coke manufacturers in its letter has alleged that police were deliberately stopping hard coke loaded vehicles at Dibudih check point under Kulti PS of West Burdwan district despite needing documents including the GST and e- challans .
The coke manufactured in Jharkhand has been sent to industries based in West Bengal for a long time but now the police have come up with a harassing attitude and almost all trucks coming from Jharkhand are being stopped for days together in name of verification of documents, ICA alleged.
