DMK’s schemes shelved by the previous government to be revived, says TN Minister

Minister for Information, T. Mano Thangaraj, said the government’s focus is increasing ‘ease of doing business’; aim is to turn Hosur into ‘Silicon Valley’, he said

A number of projects introduced by the erstwhile M. Karunanidhi government, which were either shelved or stalled by the subsequent AIADMK government, would be revived Minister for Information T. Mano Thangaraj said in Hosur on Friday. Interacting with the media at the ELCOT SEZ after meeting with representatives of the Hosur Small and Tiny Industries Association (HOSTIA) and Hosur Industries Association (HIA), he said, the take-away from the meeting was that there was no conducive environment and infrastructure for the industry at large during the last government. The industry’s common refrain was that there was a gap between the industry and the government during the previous regime, said Mr. Thangaraj.
