HUBLI: The officials of the government have been directed to revive the earlier proposal of setting up a textile park in the city, Revenue Minister Jagadish Shettar said here on May 17.

The minister was present at a meet-the-press programme organised by the Dharwad District Working Journalists' Association here in the city on 17th May.

Jagadish Shettar further clarified that as per the earlier proposal, their was only a requirement of 10 acres of land, but now a minimum of 50 acres of land might be required for the purpose.

The government’s decision to close down the NGEF unit at Bangalore has raised the chances of shifting some sections of the factory to the city, so the proposal in this regard has been submitted, he said.

The minister further listed out the number of projects sanctioned and steps taken by the government in the implementation regarding development of north Karnataka.

However the state government had sanctioned Rs. 2.65 crore for developing infrastructure in the Gokul Road Industrial Estate in the city.
