H P Yadav, President of NCR Chamber of Commerce and Industry Gurgaon has said that incidents like the recent violence by the labour in an Industrial unit in Udyog Vihar Industrial area are a big hurdle to industrial development. Because of such labour unrest, a negative atmosphere is being created, and has affected the Industrial growth of Southern Haryana. He was worried that this may lead to a further migration of Industries and demanded immediate action from the govt. for the formation of an industrial security force - Haryana Industrial Peacekeeping Group (from Haryana Police) - and other related steps. Many Industrialists are also planning to return their land at circle rates. Yadav expressed that this will lead to major unemployment in Haryana and also major revenue loss to the State. Such incidents have occurred previously at Maruti, Hero Motocorp, Honda Monocycles and Orient Craft, and in the Roz ka Meo Industrial area. According to Yadav, all industrial associations and even the NCR Chamber of Commerce and Industry have demanded the intervention of the govt. in the matter – but neither the State Government nor any Central Ministry had taken it seriously. In 2003 a Haryana police force had been established for the security of industrial areas, with the special recruitment of 1,200 police personnel; however, surprisingly, a new Haryana Government had disbanded this Haryana State Industrial Security Force w.e.f. 29th June 2005. Yadav has asked the State Government to immediately organise a joint meeting of various stakeholders - like the government, chambers of commerce, industrial associations and trade unions - for finding permanent solutions to such issues also for the earliest formation of an industrial security force.u
