Land given for industries will be recovered if they don't start even after years: Murugesh Nirani
Belagavi(PTI): Karnataka Large and Medium Industries Minister Murugesh Nirani on Friday said the government would recover lands allotted to more than 500 industries for not starting their ventures even after several years of approving the project.
Replying to Congress MLA N H Shivashankar Reddy's query in the State Assembly, Nirani said the government has already identified the allotted lands where industries were not started even after five to 20 years of sanction.
Sale deed will not be done till they start the industries in full scale and they cannot use the industrial land for real estate purpose. Else we will recover the land," he said.
The Minister further said 15 per cent of industrial land must be reserved for residential purposes. Replying to MLA S Ramappa's query, Nirani denied the role of middlemen in the land acquisition process and said compensation is paid to farmers directly.
He said the State-level single-window agency has approved 16 projects in Harihar Taluk in Davangere district with an expected investment of Rs 217.34 crore and creation of 908 jobs.
Cargill has set up starch manufacturing unit at a cost of Rs 630 crore and 85 per cent Kannadigas are employed. The government has approved Mangaluru Refinery Petro Chemicals Company's 2G ethanol unit at a cost of Rs 966 crore and 47 acres of land has been allotted and lease deed process is under way, Nirani told the House.
Reiterating government's position on providing jobs to local people, Nirani, while replying to MLA Amrut Desai, said the government is committed to provide jobs to locals as per Dr Sarojini Mahishi report and also to the kin of farmers who sold their land for industries.

Indian men's team clinches inaugural Kho Kho World Cup title after women's victory
New Delhi: The Indian men's team beat Nepal 54-36 in the final to win the inaugural Kho Kho World Cup title here on Sunday.
The Indian men's team title came after the women's side were also crowned the champions after defeating Nepal in the final.
The Men in Blue dominated the final against Nepal with captain Pratik Waikar and tournament standout Ramji Kashyap leading from the front.
Attacking first, an exceptional sky dive by Ramji Kashyap got Nepal's Suraj Pujara. Suyash Gargate then touched Bharat Sahu to give India a great start with 10 points in just four minutes.
Sky dives were the name of the game for the Men in Blue, and this ensured a bright start for the side in Turn 1, preventing the Dream Run for their opponents. At the end of the turn, the scoreline was 26-0 in favour of the Indians.
In Turn 2, Nepal were not able to match India's levels but did prevent the home side from going on a single Dream Run.
Aditya Ganpule and skipper Pratik Waikar carried the team through this turn, and despite regular touches from the likes of Janak Chand and Suraj Pujara, India carried a 26-18 lead into the second half of the clash.
India were in their stride in Turn 3, displaying unwavering confidence throughout. Captain Pratik Waikar shone on the mat with multiple sky dives, and with the support of Ramji Kashyap, another star of the tournament.
Aditya Ganpule was also at his finest, and the home team's collective effort took the score to 54-18 entering the final turn of the match -- and the tournament.
Nepal fought hard in Turn 4 in their bid to come back against India. But the defenders, once again led by Pratik Waikar and Sachin Bhargo proved too strong. Mehul and Suman Barman were equally impressive.
India showcased their dominance throughout the tournament, beginning with convincing victories over Brazil, Peru and Bhutan in the group stages. Their momentum continued through the knockout rounds, where they outclassed Bangladesh in the quarterfinals before overcoming a strong South African side in the semifinals.
