New Delhi, July 7

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday asked NITI Aayog to prepare a report mapping all mega industrial activities such as corridors, logistics parks and pharma hubs in order to incorporate them under the PM Gati Shakti initiative of the government.

“I would like the NITI Aayog to map all this (industrial corridors, freight corridors, defence corridors, manufacturing zones, textile parks, logistics parks, medical and pharma hubs). Map it all and tell us where you see a possibility for bringing them under the PM Gati Shakti,” the minister said.

Sitharaman was speaking at the first meeting of the Apex Monitoring Authority for the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme though the PM’s Gati Shakti programme for multi-modal connectivity was in October last year.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
