Bengal finding land for BCIM corridor

The West Bengal government is scouting for land for the completion of the Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar (BCIM) corridor.
"The BCIM corridor will be ambitious in terms of Trade. We are trying to find land to see how things can be done. The Chief Minister has given feedback to the Centre on this," state Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim said at the inauguration of 28th Industrial India Trade Fair.
BCIM is one of the Silk road plans which connects India and China through Myanmar and a number of ports in the Asian region.
"Kolkata is the gateway to not only northeastern states but also eastern and southeastern nations like Myanmar," Hakim said.

He said the state government was making sincere efforts to provide the industrial community with hassle-free environment for business.
"Our Chief Minister has said that business should grow and no one should disturb businessmen," Hakim said.
