Decks cleared for Textile Park in Warangal
Decks have been cleared for the launch of long-pending Textile Park, touted as the biggest ‘fibre to fabric’ (end-to-end) facility in the country, in Warangal with the authorities completing the land acquisition, one of a key challenge that every government has been confronting with, these days.
Warangal: Decks have been cleared for the launch of long-pending Textile Park, touted as the biggest ‘fibre to fabric’ (end-to-end) facility in the country, in Warangal with the authorities completing the land acquisition, one of a key challenge that every government has been confronting with, these days.
Although the project has been in the pipeline for over six years, it was finally given a push by the Telangana government in 2014. It may be noted here that although the State produces 60 lakh bales of cotton per annum, the consumption by the local mills is just around 10 lakh bales. The surplus is being exported to neighbouring States - Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
Initially, the authorities identified land for the proposed park in Devunuru and Mupparam villages under Dharmasagar mandal. Of which, a part of land belonged to forest department. Realising the problems in getting clearances from the forest wing, the government cancelled it.
Then the authorities stretched their eyes on land in Sangem and Geesukonda mandals in Warangal Rural district. Here too the land acquisition process hit a roadblock with the farmers opposing to concede their fertile lands and with the Left parties raising a hue and cry accusing the government of using coercive measures to get consent from the farmers.
Against this backdrop, the Rural district administration was able to acquire nearly 1,200 acres successfully. Speaking to The Hans India, the Rural district Joint Collector M Haritha said: “The administration has acquired 1,120 acres against the requirement of 1,050 acres.”
TSIIC Warangal Zonal Manager Ratan Rathod said: “A detailed project report (DPR), prepared by the Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS) will be submitted to the government soon.” It’s learnt that Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited is entrusted with the responsibility of submitting Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to the State Pollution Board.
Meanwhile, the speculation is rife that Chief Minister who is scheduled to address a public meeting in Hanamkonda on April 27 is expected to lay foundation stone for the mega textile park. However, the district administration said that they have no such information so far.
