Thirteen projects with a total outlay of Rs 523 crores have been announced in West Bengal. Horizon 2000, a conference attended by over 350 industrialists and seven chambers of commerce, took off in Durgapur on Saturday and chief minister Jyoti Basu, inaugurating the meet, said that the enthusiasm generated by the event would mark a new epoch in industry in
Bengal. "I am hopeful,'' he said, adding that the project announcements and good intentions would give a new twist to the industrial scenario in the mineral rich area of the state.
Basu said that it was important that labour unions as well as the managements of the proposed projects worked in tandem and in harmony and added that there was a project resource of Rs. 42000 crores in foreign investments for the state. He said that land was a problem since the matter did not end with land acquisition but resettling the displaced families was of equal importance. Basu said that the Haldia project deadline had been kept which had given the much-needed thrust to Bengal industry while infotech was also going ahead in leaps and bounds with Infinity building being inaugurated in Calcutta.
