Srinagar/IBNS: Jammu and Kashmir Government has set in motion an exercise to retrieve un-utilised industrial land allotted in the union territory.
The government will begin an eviction drive for retrieval of such land to allot them to new investors who are willing to set-up their units under a new Industrial development scheme announced, a senior official of the Industries and Commerce Department said.
Earlier this year, the central government approved a new industrial development scheme for J&K with a total outlay of Rs 28,400 crore.
The scheme will remain in force from the date of its notification till 2037.
