The Punjab government has decided to construct a mega textile park in Fatehgarh Sahib.
It had earlier planned to construct the park near the protected Mattewara forest in Ludhiana. However, the plan was scrapped following a public outcry.
Bhagwant Mann, Chief Minister will write a demi-official letter to Piyush Goyal, Union Minister of Textiles, Commerce and Industry, requesting him to accept the proposal with a changed location,”said an official.
As per reports, the park will be built in around 1,000 acre in Fatehgarh Sahib. With 700 acre already acquired, another 300 acre will be acquired soon.
The Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Park, under the PM-MITRA scheme will help in generating employment besides boosting exports from the state.
