This should set at rest several controversies which had cropped up due to private land acquisition for industries.   opgoel  --- On Sat, 12/27/08, Shubhranshu Choudhary <s...@cgnet.in> wrote: From: Shubhranshu Choudhary <s...@cgnet.in> Subject: [chhattisgarh-net] Chhattisgarh not to acquire agricultural land for industries To: chhattisgarh-n...@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, December 27, 2008, 3:57 PM Chhattisgarh not to acquire agricultural land for industries *Raipur, Dec 27 : Chhattisgarh's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government said Saturday it would now only provide government-owned or barren land for setting up new industrial units, instead of agricultural land.* "Industries are very essential for social and economic development of the state as well as ensuring jobs to local people but we will provide either government-owned or barren land for the industrial units coming up," Chief Minister Raman Singh told reporters.
