Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on Tuesday gave a nod to the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) to set up an Industrial Mega Park over an area nearly 1,500-2,000 acres in Mohali.
A decision to this effect was taken by Badal in a meeting with the senior officers of GMADA. The secretary, housing and urban development apprised the CM that the proposed Industrial Park would further propel the pace of industrial development in the state and this chunk of land would be made available to the prospective entrepreneurs to set up their ventures.
Badal also gave in-principle approval to launch a local bus service within Mohali to facilitate the local residents and commuters. The CM also asked the chief administrator GMADA to tie up with PRTC to chalk out the modalities for running the local bus service in Mohali on the pattern of Jalandhar and Ludhiana.
Badal also gave approval to set up a modern fire station at Mohali at a cost of 15 crore, equipped with latest fire fighting machinery.
