Punjab government today said it will set up an ultra modern industrial estate spread over 300 acres at village Dhanansu in the vicinity of Ludhiana.
It is also aimed at providing alternative business activities to the existing units running in the residential areas, thereby reducing pollution in the city.
Disclosing this in a meeting held here, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said this exclusive industrial zone would further develop Ludhiana as it is being set up on the vital Amritsar-Kolkata industrial corridor.

He also decided to convene a high level meeting with concerned ministers and senior officials next week to chalk out a first of its kind 'rural development policy' to develop villages as clean and green modern villages.
Badal also reviewed the progress of Rajpura focal point which is being set up over 200 acres near NH-1 and on Amritsar-Kolkata industrial corridor rail link.
He further said Punjab would develop more industrial focal points along with the national railway corridor to boost investments in the state.
