Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said that the migration from the hills of the State is an imperative in view of Uttarakhand remaining a strategically important State from the defence point of view. He said this while presiding over a symposium jointly hosted by Vivekananda Vichar Mancha and SIIDCUl Entrepreneurs Welfare Association on Thursday.
He further said that the sugar mill based in Iqbalpur would become operational before September 20 and the parking slot in SIIDCUl would be completed in a month. He said that his government being industry-friendly, the state would see massive industrial development in the coming days.
CM also proposed giving loan at the interest of 2% to the marginal and the small farmers, adding that by 2020, 1.25 lakh people will have their own residential facility.
The Ranipur MlA Adesh Chauhan stressed on providing basic facilities like drinking water and roads to the people living in the areas adjacent to SIIDCUl like Rawli Mehdood, Salempur, Roshanabad, Anneki, Hetampur and Tehri rehabilitation colony. He also demanded special package for the region.
