Amarinder seeks reports from Ludhiana DC on poor infra

Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has sought reports from the Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner and Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation on the tardy progress of the industrial estates.
Singh sought the reports after the issue was raised by a delegation of Ludhiana industrialists and CII representatives which met him here today.
The Chief Minister has also assured the industry that his government would provide all the necessary facilities to facilitate industrial development in Ludhiana.
The meeting was also attended among others, a delegation of Avon Cycles. The CII submitted to the Chief Minister a 10- point agenda for the development of industries in Ludhiana, an official spokesman said.

In their submission, the CII said the condition of Link roads in Industrial areas was really bad, which was affecting movement of goods and personnel and also giving a negative impression to international clients visiting the city.
Even the Special Purpose Vehhicles and other similar joint working groups, formed in some places with the participation of the local administration, industry and society were struck in procedural delays resulting in little or no progress on the ground.
The Chief Minister asked for reports from the DC and the PSIEC on the failure to develop the region over the past 8-9 years, the spokesman further said.
