Madurai needs more industrial estates, says trade body

‘Exclusive zone must be established for MSME’
Four more industrial estates must be established in the district, as most of the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) operate in residential areas, said Madurai District Tiny and Small Scale Industries Association (MADITSSIA).
Its president M. S. Sampath said that an exclusive zone must be established for the sector, as new entrepreneurs were in search of space while existing units needed more space for expansion. Most of the plots in the industrial estates in Kappalur, K. Pudur and Uranganpatti were occupied.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
