Punjab
government has decided to revive the industry in the historical town of Sri
Goindwal Sahib and prepared a comprehensive plan to allot land to industrial
giants to set up their units, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today
said. "The state government would allot plots to industrial giants, like
Nerolac and Indian Oil Corporation, and other companies after a thermal plant
is set up under the industrial revival plan at Goindwal Sahib," he told
reporters after praying at the Golden Temple along with his wife and Union
Minister Harsimrat Kaur Bada in Amritsar.
He said the
second 'Progressive Punjab Investment Summit', to be held in October this year,
will be a platform to showcase the investment opportunities in the state
offering maximum incentives. The Punjab government has received good response
not only from industrial giants in the country but also from foreign countries
like France, Poland, Hungary and Taiwan. Sukhbir Singh Badal further added that Volvo would set
up a production unit in the state and a team from the company will visit the
state in November to identify the suitable location.
Responding
to a question about the rallies organised by former chief minister Amarinder
Singh in the State, Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal said that "he has only a single agenda to
grab the captaincy of Punjab Congress from Partap Singh Bajwa". "Both
Captain (Amarinder Singh) and Bajwa were indulging in personal battle for their
political survival and they have nothing to do with the people of Punjab,"
he added. Referance
