Inspecting the Industrial Growth Centre Lassipora, Pulwama, the Minister reviewed the progress of construction of bund which was sanctioned with multiple purposes of restoring waterways in the flood effective areas, providing protection from consecutive floods, and reclaiming and consequently expanding the industrial area by adding approximately 1,000 – 1,500 Kanals of land under the flood safeguards. The Minister directed administration to conserve the green belt around the construction site from both construction and mining activities as such belts are necessary to mitigate the climatic changes that occur in association to projects of such scale.
