Industry stays cold to Rs 100-crore boost

NEW DELHI: In its budget for 2013-14 , the Delhi government has increased the allocation for improvement of civic services in industrial estates from Rs 50 crore to Rs 150 crore. But since taking over industrial estates from the erstwhile MCD two years ago, Delhi government has not done much for their development.

Okhla Industrial Area Phase III is a case in point. As part of the pilot project, the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation had planned for complete redevelopment of the area which houses headquarters of several MNCs. But in the name of redevelopment , maintenance took a beating. Roads are full of potholes , sewers and drains overflow during monsoons and the streets have no lamps. According to Ranjan Sharma , general secretary, Okhla Industrial Area Phase III association , "The situation has gone from bad to worse in the last few months. From being the best-maintained area, it has now become the worst maintained area. The situation is deteriorating with every passing day. The least they can do is to ensure the roads are motorable. Earlier, we somehow used to get the work done from the erstwhile MCD. Now we can't even do that."

The increase in budgetary allocation has not reassured association members. "It should translate into some action . We shouldn't be able to see the change. We fear that this time, too, the roads will be submerged. There are just two months left for the monsoon season and no work has started on the ground," a senior executive with an MNC said.
