Haryana red carpet for investors

Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala invited Jharkhand-based investors to invest in his state, which he claimed offered excellent infrastructure and was fast catching up with Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka in the IT sector.

At meetings with investors and managers at Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad and Bokaro, Chautala agriculturally-advanced Haryana aimed to be an industrially developed state. "There is no law and order problem in Haryana, we have surplus power and best roads and road connectivity in the country," he added.

Investors who achieved target production in three years would be reimbursed 20 per cent of land costs, he promised. The Haryana chief minister said the Tatas had submitted a proposal to set up a five-star hotel at Gurgaon on the Delhi-Jaipur national highway.
