He said that work related to land approval, connectivity and infrastructure for these projects is progressing rapidly, and the government aims to bring them on the ground at the earliest.
Saini also informed that under the BHAVYA scheme launched by the Centre, a proposal has been sent to the central government for developing an industrial park on 108 acres of land in Ambala.
Saini said the process of land acquisition for phase-I of the proposed Integrated Multi-Modal Logistics Hub at Nangal Chaudhary is being expedited.
The land acquisition process will be completed shortly, following which the work on phase-I will be taken forward and phase-II can subsequently be initiated. He said that he will visit the Multi-Modal Logistics Hub on August 23 and flag off the railway line.
