U.P. Govt. to set up Greater Noida Phase-II now

LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh Government on Tuesday decided to set up an industrial development authority at Dadri in Ghaziabad district to promote industrial development in the State.

The authority would be called the Greater Noida Phase-II, State Chief Secretary N. C. Bajpai told reporters after the decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting here.

As many as 188 villages in Ghaziabad, Bulandshahar and Gautambudh Nagar (Noida) districts would be acquired for the authority, he said, adding that the name Greater Noida Phase-II had been chosen to attract more entrepreneurs to the project.

He said the Government would also acquire 100 acres of land belonging to the State Jal Nigam at Jalaun to set up a medical college.

The Government also decided to modernise the Rampur Sugar Mill and increase its crushing capacity from the existing 1,200 tons a day to 2,500 tons at an estimated cost of Rs 61.5 crore, Mr. Bajpai said.

The Mulayam Singh Government would also convert the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital here to a registered society for providing quality medical care to the poor. - PTI
