Supply of Nehbandan mining infrastructure
Governor of Nehbandan: The government has accepted ninety percent of the cost of two hundred and seventy billion tomans of electricity supply to Shahkooh mines, and if the electricity supply to these mines is completed, we will see a great revolution in the field of mines in the city.
According to Iran International Stone Exhibition, Majid Beyki, in a meeting with representatives of labor and employers' organizations in the city, said: "Workers are powerful arms of production, employment and the country's economy and play a special role in the development and economic growth of countries."
The governor of Nehbandan added: "The 11th of Adibehesht is the International Day of Labor and Workers, and in addition to celebrating this day, the demands of the labor field must be addressed, because many problems can be solved."
"Nehbandan city has a good economic potential in the mining sector, which has good employment in this area compared to other areas, but unfortunately the infrastructure in the mining sector is poor due to the less developed city," Becky said.
Referring to the vastness of Nehbandan city, he added: "Last year, in the field of mines, good follow-ups such as electricity supply to mines began, which was one of the serious demands of this city."
The governor of Nehbandan, stating that with the first visit of the governor of South Khorasan in January 1397, the issue of electricity supply to mines was key again, added: more than two hundred and seventy billion tomans of credit will be spent to supply electricity to Shahkooh mines.
Beyki said that more than thirty-five mines in the field of granite and in total with the mines of Hird and Chahdashti regions, fifty projects can be implemented under this project.
He added: "Consultations of the governor of South Khorasan with Tavanir, Imidro, Deputy Minister of Industry for the development of the city's mining infrastructure have been carried out."
He continued: "One hundred and forty-five billion tomans have been invested in the private sector and the government for the Hyrd Gold Factory, which will be one of the economic pillars of the city in the coming years, which will bring many benefits to the city."
The governor of Nehbandan said that the Hyrd Gold Processing Plant will be ready for operation early in the second half of this year, which will create direct employment for more than 100 people.
Beiki stated: The plan to supply electricity to mines was approved as the largest mining project in the country last year in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Industry in Birjand, and according to this plan, two hundred and seventy billion tomans of credit was estimated for Shahkooh mine. And two posts will be built, which will be started soon by Tavanir and Imidor.
He continued: "The government has paid ninety percent of the cost of two hundred and seventy billion, and if the electricity supply to Shahkooh mines is completed, we will have a great revolution in Shahkooh mines."
He said: "Currently, due to the widespread spread of coronavirus, part of the implementation of this memorandum has been delayed, but now the governor of South Khorasan is pursuing the implementation of this memorandum."
The governor of Nehbandan said: "Today, our miners face many problems and high fuel and heavy repairs do not cover production, so they must be supported."
"South Khorasan had the lowest seasonal unemployment rate in the winter and autumn of last year, due to the start of economic and infrastructure activities, such as the construction of 10,000 housing units in the province," Becky said.
Referring to the construction of ten thousand housing units in the province, he added: out of this number, more than one thousand and six hundred units will be built in Nehbandan city.
The governor of Nehbandan stated: in the field of road construction and construction of the second runway of Nehbandan road, which has been closed for years, work has started and contractors with good capacity are working on the axis of Zabol and Birjand.
Becky added: "Fifty-five kilometers of the city's axes are ready for the tender, which will be held soon, and we will have more than one hundred kilometers in the area of the second contractor's runway."
He said: "In the field of processing units in the industrial town, an iron concentrate unit was overhauled in the Fajr decade, which we hope will be operational in the next five months by creating employment for eighty people."
The governor of Nehbandan said that the work of completing the poultry slaughterhouse will start after years of closure and will create seventy jobs. "This year will be a good year for employment and the economy of Nehbandan, but we need to strengthen the city's market," he said.
Referring to workers' demands, Beyki said: "Despite serious demands in 1397, last year we had the lowest demands in Nehbandan city."
He specified: In the field of unemployment insurance, the government will help the affected classes and workers with five thousand billion tomans, and in Nehbandan city, a list of jobs and injured workers will be prepared and they will be helped.
The governor of Nehbandan pointed out: "Production in the world has been disrupted because the demand for goods has decreased and the disease is widespread, and all devices must be working."
