HYDERABAD: Industries minister D Sridhar Babu announced that the govt would reclaim industrial land that has been left unused or repurposed for other purposes.
He revealed that a three-member committee of officials had been formed to assess whether industries are using the land for its intended purpose or for other activities.
Responding during the Assembly’s Question Hour on Monday, the minister explained that the committee, which was set up in October, is headed by G Malsur, Director of the Industries Department, with two officials from the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) as members. The panel is expected to submit its report by February 2025.
Earlier, BJP MLA Venkata Ramana Reddy from Kamareddy raised concerns about the state’s industrial parks, questioning how many are operational. He alleged that some industries that were allotted land have misused it by mortgaging it or diverting it for other purposes.
Another MLA, Anirudh Reddy, noted that despite bringing pollution in Polepally SEZ to attention of Telangana State Pollution Control Board, no action had been taken.
