New Delhi, June 21 (IANS) The Delhi government has announced plans to create a staggering 600,000 job opportunities by embarking on an ambitious project to redevelop non-conforming industrial areas.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his determination to transform all 26 non-conforming industrial areas into recognized conforming industrial areas through a comprehensive redevelopment plan.
During a high-level meeting held on Wednesday, Kejriwal stated that the redevelopment of these non-conforming industrial areas was crucial for the growth and progress of Delhi's industrial sector.
"Once the redevelopment is complete, these areas will be accorded the coveted Conforming Area status, providing a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. Recognizing the financial burden associated with formulating the layout for these areas, the Delhi Government has taken a proactive step by shouldering 90 per cent of the costs, with only 10 per cent of the expenses being borne by the industries," Kejriwal said.
The Delhi Government has said that it is firmly committed to the revitalization of Delhi's industrial landscape, fostering economic growth, and generating employment opportunities.
During the review meeting, officials from the Department of Industries explained that, as per Delhi's Master Plan, the demarcation of land for residential, commercial, and industrial use is the responsibility of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA).
However, when the expansion of residential, commercial, and industrial activities took place in Delhi, the DDA could not keep up with the pace of development.
As a result, unauthorized colonies began to emerge due to the unavailability of residential colonies in Delhi. The land use in Delhi started to deviate from the Master Plan for other purposes. Industrial clusters were not created in a timely manner by the DDA, leading to the emergence of illegal or non-conforming industrial areas.
Currently, more than 70 per cent of the land is being used for industrial activities, known as non-conforming industrial areas.
The passengers were later identified as Moshin Khan Saifi and Asim. Saifi was supposed to travel from Delhi to Hyderabad by Vistara Flight, whereas Asim was supposed to travel from Delhi to Dubai by Air India Express flight.
The official said that at about 4 pm, CISF staff at Terminal-3 noticed suspicious activities of a passenger in the check-in area. The passenger was later identified as Misam Raza, who was about to fly to Dubai on a SpiceJet flight. Raza was then diverted to the random checking point for a thorough checking of his luggage.
The arrested accused have been identified as Vikas Bhadana, Paras Sood, Thachang Tungshanao, Avinash, Ram Basua and Abhislash Singh, the call centre manager. While the call centre and house owner has been identified as Sachin Taneja.
A SAD delegation led by its president Sukhbir Singh Badal met Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit and handed over a memorandum stating that the Chief Minister and the Excise Minister have violated the provisions of the Official Secrets Act by making official files of the state available to Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and MP Raghav Chadha, besides private persons.
The location of another plotter, Anmol Bishnoi, has also been traced to Kenya. The Bishnois had fled India before the daylight killing of Moosewala on May 29 in the Moosa village in Mansa district. It is believed that Sachin, a nephew of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, and Brar hatched the conspiracy to kill the famed Punjabi singer.
Sisodia's bank locker at a Ghaziabad bank was searched by the CBI on Tuesday morning. Manish Sisodia and his wife Seema Sisodia reached the bank along with the probe agency officials to examine the bank locker in connection with the alleged irregularities in the excise policy.
