<h1>Raw jute shortage prompting emergency stock limits and enforcement action to stabilise mill operations and labour compensation.</h1> A tripartite meeting addressed raw jute shortages causing mill suspensions, with unions proposing emergency regulatory steps-stricter stock limits, physical verification and channelising supplies through the Jute Corporation of India-and a joint delegation to seek central intervention. Enforcement action against hoarding has been intensified, with seizures reported and enforcement powers under the Jute and Jute Textiles Control Order delegated to the West Bengal Enforcement Branch. The state will issue an advisory on lay-off compensation linked to raw-material non-availability, and the mills' association will submit a consolidated proposal to restore supply and stabilise operations.
