The after effects of the devastating earthquake are being felt by the Shreveport plant of General Motors. Due to shortage of parts, the General Motors Plant is being shut down temporarily. The entire economy and production cycle of the work has been hampered by the earthquake.

There are a number of companies worldwide that depend on Japan for its various parts. The General Motors plant in Shreveport is going to be shut down permanently in the June of 2012.

The plant used to manufacture Hummer, GMC Canyon, and Chevy Colorado. According to Donna McLallen, the spokeswoman of General Motors, the present shutdown is not a permanent one.

"We hope to be back up as soon as possible", she said. "We are going to monitor the situation constantly, but there is no way to speculate how long this shutdown will last”.

There is so much uncertainty that surrounds the current scenario that it is impossible for anyone to give precise answers to these questions.

The natural calamity has not only devastated one country, it has had its affects on the entire world. There is a support system that binds the entire world and the disaster has loosened the cords of the same.
