PUNJAB ALL SET FOR MAJOR REFORMS IN INDUSTRIES DEPARTMENT

* Sukhbir Singh Badal Constitutes A Reforms Committee To Submit Report In 30 Days

* Punjab To Create Land Bank To Facilitate Industry

Chandigarh :-

Industries department in Punjab is all set for major reforms as Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister today set the ball rolling for making state no. 1 investment destination.

Reviewing the implementation of Administrative Reforms in a high level meeting to make Industries department investor friendly, Mr. Badal said that after upgrading the infrastructure of the state, it was imperative for Industry Department to remove all bottlenecks coming in the way of investors’ investing in Punjab. The Deputy Chief Minister, who is also holding the newly created portfolio of Investment Promotion constituted a Reforms Committee under Dr. Parmod Kumar that would submit its report within 30 days suggesting reforms in the Industry Department. Mr. Badal said that his endeavor was to make Punjab as most investor friendly state and set-up single window service in its true spirit. He said that if industries department does not receive clearance from any department, it would be deemed approved.

Emphasizing the need for creating a Land Bank, Mr. Badal said that the experiment of other states offering land to the industrial houses ‘off shelf’ has been very successful as no industrial house wants to get entangled in land acquisition disputes. He said that it was the prime duty of the State Government to provide land clear of all hindrances to the investors with all the clearances including Pollution Clearance, Forest NOC, Power Connection, NOC from Labour Department etc. to the investors so that they would immediately go ahead with the setting up of project.

Asking the department to study the concept of Industrial Estates threadbare, Mr. Badal said that department should come out with the workable proposal for promotion of industry in the state. Stressing the need of a regular monthly meeting of ‘Empowered Committee and Project Approval Board’, Mr. Badal said that it was the duty of the department to ensure that these meeting do take place every month. He said that performance of Secretary and Director of Industry Department would be gauged from the fact that how much investment they could attract with their efforts.

Punjab Industries Minister Mr. Anil Joshi gave out a briefing of pending investment proposals and steps taken by the department to attract investments in the state.

Prominent amongst those who were present in the meeting included Mr. Rakesh Singh, Chief Secretary, Mr. S.C. Agrawal, Chairman Right to Service Commission, Dr. Parmod Kumar, Chairman Governance Reforms Commission, Mr. Karan A. Singh, Principal Secretary Science and Technology, Mr. S.K. Sandhu, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, Mr. P.S. Aujla, Principal Secretary to Deputy Chief Minister and Mr. S.S. Bains, Director Industries.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
