Una (HP) Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Thursday inaugurated the Bulk Drug Park constructed at Panjuvana in Haroli Assembly constituency of Una district.
Addressing a public meeting on this occasion, Sukhu said that this project is a revolutionary initiative of the state government that would go a long way in significantly transforming the entire region, besides providing employment and self-employment opportunities to the local people.
The state government would provide land at a nominal cost of one rupee, electricity at the rate of three rupees per unit and free water for a period of ten years to the industries to be set up in the Bulk Drug Park.
The state government will also extend financial support for the construction of a five-kilometre railway line from Jaijon to Polian, which will cost approximately Rs 3,400 crore, he said in a statement issued here.
Sukhu said the previous BJP government mismanaged the state's finances, which has put every resident of the state under a debt burden of Rs 1.25 lakh. The present state government was committed to strengthening the economy of the state and making it a self-reliant state.
Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri thanked the Chief Minister for allocating Rs 1,000 crore for the construction of Bulk Drug Park and said that now the park would be developed without involving private agencies.
Residents of Kuthar Beet and Poliyan would benefit from the project. Previously, the people of this area had to face various challenges such as adequate healthcare, education and water facilities.
To meet the electricity needs of the area, the government has made a provision of Rs 40 crore and there will be no shortage of power from next year, he added.
Industry Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan said it was an important moment for Haroli as the Chief Minister initiated major projects for the area.
The bulk drug park would help manufacture raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry and reduce dependence on Chinese imports.
