28 years on, Abohar industrial focal point to be developed

The industrial focal point, Abohar, for which the then government led by Beant Singh acquired 25 acres along the NH-15 in 1993, will soon be fully developed. An assurance was given by Industries Minister Sunder Sham Arora, who inspected the site for half-an-hour.

Fruit exporter Surinder Charaya and another industrialist Kavinder Madaan briefed him about their plight. Eight units had become functional in the past two years, but the rest of the area was inundated with overflowing sewage water, they said.

Arora assured the industrial focal point would be developed. He asked the department to send a detailed report on its plan immediately, so that the industry could be expanded to suit the locally available raw material. He told senior officials of his department to visit the focal point on Monday and submit the report.
