Madhya Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla expressed dissatisfaction with the slow progress of the water supply scheme for the Gurh industrial region. He emphasized the need for officials to speed up infrastructure works to attract investments. The Rs 16 crore water project, approved by the state government, has faced delays in completion despite fund allocation.
Shukla highlighted that the Gurh water project, once finished, will provide 5 MLD of water to Gurh Nagar Parishad and another 5 MLD to the Gurh Industrial Area. He stressed that the completion of this project is crucial for enhancing the water supply system in the Gurh area and supporting industrial zone development.
The Deputy CM emphasized the importance of basic services like electricity, water, roads, and drainage for the growth of industrial areas. He noted that the lack of these facilities has deterred investments, hampering industrial development in the region. Shukla directed officials to prioritize development works in the Gurh Industrial Area, focusing on expanding electricity, roads, water supply, and other essential services.
Shukla underscored that the overall development of the Gurh Industrial Area will bolster the industrial landscape of Rewa district and generate significant employment opportunities for local youth. He highlighted that the establishment of industries will lead to increased employment, benefiting the region’s economy. Shukla also emphasized the need for seamless coordination among all concerned departments.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, during a recent visit to Rewa, announced plans for a new 100-acre industrial area in the Gurh region to stimulate local industrial growth and employment opportunities.
