The project planning and land acquisition process have been cleared, the release said.
A policy for the disposal of unviable Government land was also cleared by the cabinet. This includes small, narrow, inaccessible or landlocked plots that are unsuitable for construction, it said. A revised policy for the commercial use of surplus land of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation was also approved, allowing the MSRTC to monetise additional land holdings, it said. The release further said a Rs 50 crore grant for 1,124 workers of Nagpur Weavers’ Co-operative Spinning Mill has been sanctioned. The grant will be funded through the sale of the mill’s land.
