Nandini Chakravorty, managing director of West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC), the premier agency of the state's commerce and industry department, has been replaced with Krishna Gupta, who was managing director, West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited (WBPDCL). C M Bachhawat is the new industry secretary, replacing Alapan Bandopadhyay.
Bachhawat, has been finance secretary in the Mamata government and had sought a transfer "to a less daunting department" a year ago. He has now been given added responsibility (in addition to food and supplies where he was principal secretary). Bachhawat has served as director, industries and executive director, WBIDC. Gupta has had a stint in the Union ministry of commerce.
Industrialists however remained nonchalant of the move since the government is determined to continue with its hands-off land acquisition policy and no-SEZ stance. One of them anonymously said, "We still don't know if industry is a priority with this government. What can officials do when there is no political will?"
The Mamata government which completed one-and-a-half year on Monday has been in the eye of a storm over the way it handled the Haldia dock crisis that saw a cargo handler leaving the state, citing unsafe work conditions. Since then, the chief minister has been on a damage-control mission - trying to formulate a new industrial policy, based on feedback from chambers of commerce. Mamata will also organise a business meet in Delhi on December 17 to woo captains of industry.
The chief minister's decision to remove Chakravorty and Bandopadhyay came as a surprise to IAS officials. The former has been the chief minister's blue-eyed officer, entrusted with two key roles - as principal secretary, information and culture and as MD, WBIDC. The 1994-batch officer was the youngest MD of the organisation - from Tuesday she also became the shortest serving MD, WBIDC. Chakravorty will, however, remain the information secretary and Bandopadhyay will continue to hold his other charge - that of secretary, municipal affairs. Krishna will be replaced by Barun Roy.
