The matter came to light after the Committee on Public Undertakings on Wednesday summoned representatives of the state PSUs for clarification on the huge losses.
Speaking to media persons after the meeting, MLA and member of the Committee, T Chyne informed that two out of 17 PSUs in the state were non- functional whereas the total loss incurred by the rest 15 PSUs in the state amounted to Rs 389.50 crores.
“As a Committee, we fell concern about the huge losses as it is a burden on the State Government,” he said
