Haryana offer to units displaced from Delhi

By Our Special Correspondent

CHANDIGARH, DEC. 14. The Haryana Chief Minister, Mr.Om Prakash Chautala, today directed officers of the State Industries Department to provide adequate infrastructure and space for resettlement of industrial units affected by the Supreme Court directive ordering closure of certain groups of industrial units in Delhi.

The Chief Minister said the areas around Jhajjar and Badli on one side and Kundli on the other would be most suitable to these displaced units because of their proximity to the existing units and availability of sufficient infrastructure. He asked officers to develop new industrial estates, if required, in the Kundli area where more than 500 acres of land is available with the Government. The Chief Minister also asked the PWD Secretary, Mr. Vivek Mehrotra, to improve the Jhajjar, Badli-Delhi road.

Mr. Chautala had asked the Industries Department to contact Delhi industrialists for shifting their units to Haryana.

The Chief Minister has also, through a written communication, informed the Union Minister of Urban Development, Mr. Jagmohan, of his willingness to offer the industrial and infrastructure facilities.

Mr. Chautala has told Mr. Jagmohan that the core concept of National Capital Region which embodied the spirit of dispersal of economic activity and habitation in a planned manner was being over-looked. He said he had no doubt in his mind that in case the NCR is developed in right earnest, Mr. Jagmohan would be remembered for his far-sightedness.
