With proposal deadlines set, DC Ajay Nath Jha assured that the project will usher in development and much-needed jobs for locals.
He said, "A joint high-level meeting between district officials and BSL was conducted. The meeting focused on resolving pricing disputes related to land acquisition. Officials agreed to take collaborative steps to break the deadlock, hinting that the project may soon resume progress."
The meeting, held at Circuit House, centred on land pricing in Bhatua Mauja for the proposed Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) under AKIC and was chaired by Anjaneyulu Dodde, director of land acquisition and records.
"A major point of discussion was ensuring transparency and fairness in land valuation. Officials evaluated pricing based on local market rates, previous sale data, and govt benchmarks to maintain equity in acquisition," said DC Jha.
Anjaneyulu directed BSL to submit a proposal within a week for 740 acres of land categorised under agriculture, industry, and commercial use.
