No Land Ceiling For RIL Food Hubs Despite Left's ResistanceBy Unregistered Visitors, Section News
Reliance Industries' six food processing hubs are set to be exempted from land ceiling as the food processing department is ready to grant them the status of food processing industry. This comes at a time when the agricultural marketing department under the Left front constituent Forward Bloc swears at its setting up of retail chains.
If land and land reforms minister Abdur Rezzak Mollah's hints are anything to go by, his department will now have no problems in granting RIL the exemption under rural land ceiling regulations. In fact, the proposal does not even have to be passed by the Cabinet. Mollah said his department can give the nod if it finds everything okay in the clearance given by food processing department. Under land ceiling regulations, only mills, factories, workshops and tea gardens are allowed to keep over 24 acres. With the land department's approval, RIL will be able to hold about 100 acres each for the six hubs at Asansol, Kharagpur, Malda, Haldia, Falta and Siliguri that will supply produce to its retail outlets.
In May, the land department had agreed to give exemption, provided the project got clearance from food processing department. Food processing minister Mohanta Chatterjee said a technical committee has decided to clear RIL's application as food processing industry. With this, Reliance hubs can be considered as agro-industries. The hubs will function as processing and warehousing centres.
Mollah had earlier stated that his department would not have a problem in giving exemption from land ceiling laws if the proposal came within the purview of agroindustries. Source: TOI, 20/8/2007
