A two days invests meet will be held in
Siliguri from 16th April. SJDA in collaboration with the Confederation
of Indian Industries and West Bengal Industrial Development
Corporation will organize the meeting. The meeting will be
held on the line of the Destination North Bengal which was
organized here in February 2003 and the meeting was attended
by as many as 140 delegates.
At a news conference The Urban Development
Minister of the State Mr. Ashok Bhattacharjee said, “Our
first initiative was successful and we received a large number
of investors who were eager to invest in North Bengal. Now
we look forward.” This type of meeting would give Siliguri
more strategic importance in the year to come. North Bengal
will have a bright prospect after the changes like reopening
Nathula, completion of the East-West Corridor and operation
of international flights from Bagdogra airport, which is expected
to happen sooner or later. Mr. Ashok Bhattacharjee also said
that this is the time for us to create interest among the
investors.
