Chandigarh, August 26
The mega integrated textile park, which was earlier planned near the protected Mattewara forest in Ludhiana and was later scrapped following a public outcry, will now be built in Fatehgarh Sahib.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will write a demi-official letter to Union Minister of Textiles, Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, requesting him to accept the proposal with a changed location. “Already, 700 acres in Fatehgarh Sahib has been identified for the park. As 1,000 acres are needed, another 300 acres will be acquired,” said an officer.
