Chandigarh, February 4

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) calls for a greater Chandigarh region planning board in line with the NCR Planning Board for the overall development of the tricity and coordination among the respective governments, said Dr SPS Grewal while interacting with UT Adviser Manoj Parida at UT Secretariat yesterday.

The NCR Planning Board Act was enacted in 1985 with the concurrence of the participating states of Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

The rationale behind this was to promote balanced and harmonised development of the region.

Dr Grewal said: “Chandigarh also needs to grow in tandem with the national economy or may be even at a much higher rate of growth compared to national average. The greater Chandigarh region planning board will help in the overall development of the region.”
