Minister for Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Dairy Development of Punjab.
Shri Aman Arora informed that strict orders have been issued to all industry related departments to
clear pending applications at the earliest.
The issues of Industry were discussed, Industry Minister informed that government is amending the
fire safety act very soon. The industries having low risk of fire will be given a major relief under the
new policy.
Minister also informed that all the pending issued of PSIEC will be resolved very soon.
We requested the government to give relief to industries in building bylaws as it is difficult for
industries to vacate land on all four sides. The Minister informed that after the amendment in fire
safety rules the efforts will be made to give relief to industries.
We requested that instead of giving relief to new industries the focus shall be on the exiting
industries. The new investments are creating bad competition for exiting industries and is burden on
state’s finances.
We also requested that the Inspector rule shall end in Punjab.
We also raised the issue of pendency of approvals of Building Plans. The minister called the
Principal Secretary Commerce and industries Mr. Kamal Yadav and told him to look into the matter
immediately.
