Kolkata, Jan 9 (IANS) In a bid to attract investments, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Monday said the state government will provide all kinds of facilities to industrialists if they are serious about investing in Bengal.
“I love to play with a direct bat. There is very good potential in our state for industries to come up. We can assure all of you that if anybody is serious about investing in Bengal then he will get full cooperation from the state government. There will be no problem at all,” said Banerjee while addressing “Bengal Leads 2012″ programme here.
“We have already prepared a land bank and a land map so that it can help industrialists. We have a huge potential in manufacturing and agro-based industry sector. There is lot of talent in IT sector also,” said Banerjee.
Banerjee who had garnered an anti industry image due to her protests to Tata’s small car plant in Singur during her days in opposition, has time and again tried to woo businesspersons to push the process of industrialization in the state and shed her anti -industry image.
“I think there is a problem of land ceiling so we have prepared a land map and land bank. We have also prepared a land policy,” she said.
Banerjee added the state government had set up an industrial infrastructure committee that would monitor appeals, and if there is a serious case the government will look into it.
