| Govt. yet to expand industrial estates at Bari Brahmna & Samba | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, May 22: If any industrialist from outside the state wishes to set up a unit at Bari Brahmna or Samba industrial estates he may not be able to fulfill his wish, the reason being that there is no land available within these industrial units.
Official sources said that all the plots earmarked for setting up units have been leased out and most of the units function though the sheds are closed after the unit holders suffered losses.
Asked what steps the Government planned to remove the deficiency sources said that experts had suggested to the Government to acquire additional land close to the existing estates at Bari Brahmna and Samba but till date there has been no progress.
In reply to a question official source said that during the last one year not a single new industrial unit had been opened in any estate in the region.
Inside reports said that besides red tape, that is prevalent in clearing the project reports of industrialists, acute electricity crisis is said to have forced a number industrial entrepreneurs to develop cold feet as far as their plan of setting up new units in the state was concerned.
These inside reports said that number of industrialists, belonging to the areas outside Jammu and Kashmir, had planned to set up their units in Jammu but they could not do so when the state Government agencies and Department al functionaries tried to persuade them to set up their units in Kashmir and not in Jammu.
Leaders belonging to the BJP and the Panthers Party have castigated the NC led Government for adopting Kashmir centric policies strictly. These leaders said that the way industrialists were forced to set up their units in Kashmir and were being discouraged for setting up units in Jammu was another instance of anti-Jammu bias on the part of the ruling alliance.
These leaders have suggested to the Government to expand the industrial estates in Bari Brahmna and Samba so that industrialists interested in setting up new units were allotted plots in these estates. They also urged the Government to give up its regional bias in the interest of industrial growth.(KIP)
