However, a plastic park in Ganjimutt received approval last week
With the State Government preparing to present its Budget for 2022-23 after a month, many proposals announced for the coastal region by the then Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa in the 2021-22 Budget, except the plastic park in Mangaluru, remains on paper.
Among the major proposals announced for the coastal region by Mr. Yediyurappa included setting up of an Advanced Bio-tech Innovation Centre for Aquamarine, developing waterways between Mangaluru and Panaji, upgrading the Karnataka Coastal Development Authority as a board, development of beaches and adopting upgraded technology to beef up coastal surveillance.
The then Chief Minister said that the bio-tech innovation centre will be established for the development of bio-technology industries and innovative startups and to encourage the production of light food items utilising the bio-active compounds available from fish and sea weed. The Government allocated ₹6 crore for the centre during 2021-22. Sources said that it has remained merely a proposal.
