Industrial package extension sought

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh on Sunday requested Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to extend till 2020 the special industrial package given to the State for its unhampered growth.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal made a request to extend till 2020 the package expiring in March next year, an official release said here.

The special package was provided for 10 years to Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand by the NDA government in 2003.

But, the subsequent UPA Government following protests from neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana had first curtailed it to 2007 and later extended it till March 31, 2010.
