Policy Hurdles Invite Wrath Of Jamnagar Brass Units
SME brass traders and manufacturers in Jamnagar are up in arms over the recent notification issued by the Union Environment Ministry, which requires importers of brass scrap to register.
Industry players believe that bureaucratic hurdles and lack of adequate government aid are restricting the growth of the brass industry in the region. To help the sector grow, small-scale units and industry associations have sought policy support and called for relaxation of stringent norms.
Call for easing of development policies
Given that the bulk of the metal as required by small-scale traders and manufacturing units in Jamnagar are being imported from the Western markets, the Union Environment Ministry's announcement of making registration mandatory for importers of brass scrap has come as a setback.
"The Ministry's main objective behind issuing such a notification is that such a move will put an end to duty-stealing. However, we have taken up the matter with Jairam Ramesh, minister of environment and forests, as such a measure will hinder the smooth flow of imports, thereby limiting the growth prospects of the sector," said Ramjibhai Patel, president of Jamnagar Factory Owners Association (JFOA).
According to the industry estimates, nearly 70% of the 100,000-150,000 tonnes of brass as consumed per annum in India is imported from the Western markets such as Europe and the US.
"Import of brass is necessary for SME brass traders to sustain and continue catering to the domestic requirement. Therefore, the government should consider the request made by the industry representatives," said B Kumar, proprietor of Gujarat Castings, a small-sized brass importer in Jamnagar.
JFOA and SME brass industrial units have further sought easing of state and Central policies and change in banking policies to ensure higher growth of the brass sector in the region.

How do I interpret my dream of an ocean liner and sea serpent?
I am on a very old luxury ocean liner. The ship has an old swimming pool.
I am sitting next to the rusty, murky pool water when a light colored sea serpent jumps out of the water and starts to torment the other passengers. It is very scary with fangs, scales and fins. It is several feet in length.
The serpent makes its way toward me. I jump up from my lounge chair wearing a singlet type bathing suit (old time,one piece) and grab a brass candle stick. In an instant I am beating the serpent and wrestling it. It is strong and feels like its all muscle. Eventually I snap its neck. I remember the struggle and the strength it had in fighting me before I killed it.
the best way to interpret dreams is to find personal meanings for yourself. Dream books are generalizations and rarely apply to real people's dreams.
the "old timey" style of the dream may simply mean you like the style.
Otherwise, I'd say it has something to do with a power struggle or unseen potential/desire to be a hero. When you remember the serpents strength, how does it make you feel?
Your feelings towards it pays a big role in interpreting the meaning.
