Uttarakhand Industrial Welfare Association in a memorandum submitted to Industries Minister Ganesh Joshi said that on one hand the state government wants to set up industries in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand as well. On the other hand, land was taken on rent for ten to fifteen years for the industries established in Kalsi. For which lease, deed and stamp duty were paid. The industrial unit also got the land use changed from the sub-divisional officer. But the sub-divisional officer has issued orders to vest the land in the government. So how will the industry invest? Said that the measles number 323 has been notified by the Uttarakhand government. On which industries bought land and established industries. But the Court Assistant Collector Vikasnagar has issued a notice to the industries saying the allotment is wrong. The transfer levy to the industrial area was increased to five percent and rent was allowed to two percent by SIDCUL. Due to which new entrepreneurs are not daring to set up industries.
