An all party meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today requested the Centre to desist from the move to privatise state based Hindustan Newsprint Ltd near Kochi and keep it in the public sector.

It was also decided to conduct a detailed study to examine the possibility of state taking over the company, the release said.
The meeting pointed out that the Kerala assembly in 2017 had unanimously passed a resolution against any move to privatise HNL.
