NEW DELHI, SEPT. 15. Stating that the Central Government was concerned about the issue of relocation and closure of industries currently underway in the Capital, the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, today assured the Delhi Chief Minister, Sheila Dikshit and the Union Urban Development Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, of all possible help in finding an amicable solution to the problem. At a meeting convened to look into the issue, the Prime Minister asked both Ms. Dikshit and Mr. Azad to sit together and find a solution acceptable to all including the courts on the matter of relocation and closure of industry. Mr. Singh is understood to have enquired into the various aspects of the exercise being undertaken at the instance of the Supreme Court. It is learnt that Mr. Singh asked all the stakeholders to adopt a judicious approach on the issue and try to address the concerns of the parties in order to find a best possible solution. However, at the same time, it was stated that an impression should not be created that the Government and its agencies were trying to subvert the orders of the Supreme Court. Ms. Dikshit, who reached the Capital after a brief vacation at Nainital, said she informed the Prime Minister about the decision taken by the Delhi Cabinet including approaching the Supreme Court to seek more time for relocation of industries. She is also understood to have informed Mr. Singh that the Delhi Government was working in close coordination with the Union Urban Development Ministry in order to conduct a scientific survey to identify residential areas, which have more than 70 per cent industrial activity. The Delhi Lieutenant-Governor, B.L. Joshi, along with Delhi's Urban Development Minister, A.K. Walia, were also present at the meeting.
