Kumar urged the real estate developers of the city to participate in the e-tendering process, adding that another 111 acres of land would be under consideration, for setting up a township. “Our proposal is awaiting clearances from various sections of the ministry (read shipping ministry). Once we get the approval, we will put the land parcel on the block,” he said.
West Bengal Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim, said the industry should come forward for setting up warehouses and logistics hubs, as online shopping is gaining momentum in the country. This, he said, would generate employment in the state.
