Small enterprises seek land allocation in industrial areas

State Govt. has promised industrialists a renewed land allotment policy

Owners of small enterprises in industrial development areas and industrial estates in Kerala have appealed to the State Government to endow them with total ownership of the land even as the Government has promised the industrialists a renewed land allotment policy.

The Kerala State Small Industries Association president M. Khalid said a State committee meeting of the association renewed its request to the Government. He said the Government had said it was working on a new land allotment policy for industrial units in the specified areas.

The request is that the Government should transfer the ownership to up and running enterprises which had been allotted plots of land in industrial areas and estates under the Government Order of April 5, 1969, under the hire purchase scheme.
