Poor infra, potholed roads mark industrial estates: Industries body

The government continues its step motherly treatment towards the statesindustrialsector with , particularly roads, being left in a bad state, said Goa State Industries Association (GSIA).

Chief minister Pramod Sawant had directed the PWD to repair all national highways, state highways and major district roads by November 1. However, roads in industrial estates were not repaired.

GIDC is harassing the industries at every possible opportunity to extract Money to pay their salaries and other administrative costs. Exorbitant fees are charged to issue construction licences. For extension of construction licence, three times of the fees are charged, which works out to more than erecting a simple industrial shed.
