State govt team inspects site of mega textile park at Pinjrat

A site inspection of the proposed development of mega textile park by the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI) at Pinjrat near Olpaad, was conducted by a 20 member team from the state government departments including the industries commissioner’s office.

The SGCCI has urged the state government to allot around 80 lakh square meter of land for the mega textile park.

President of SGCCI, BS Agarwal said that things are moving in right direction and they are getting positive indication from the state government on the allotting of land required for the mega textile park.

The additional industries commissioner has asked the district administration, SUDA and GPCB to co-ordinate with them for the proposed park.

The Khedut Samaj Gujarat (KSG) had opposed the textile park raising concerns over environment, coastal regulatory zone (CRZ) violation and the employment opportunities of the fishermen.

In this matter,the SGCCI has written to the Chennai-based National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) for providing the demarcation of the CRZ boundary at Pinjrat, in order to begin the process for the mega textile park.

They are waiting for the NCSCM to provide them the CRZ demarcation at Pinjrat soon.

The Centre for Excellence will allow the MMF sector to manufacture different varieties of fabrics having huge potential in international and domestic market.
