NIMZ at Kuhi |
By Dheeraj Fartode
After getting approval from High Power Committee (HPC) for ambitious National Investement and Infrastructure Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ) at Kuhi, District administration and Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) have moved a proposal to appoint a Deputy Collector rank officer and supporting staff to acquire land required for the important project.
Regional Officer of MIDC Vijay Bhakre told ‘The Hitavada’ that the HPC have given its nod in Mach 2013 for the project. “We have sent a proposal last month to state government for appointment of Deputy Collector, Tehsildar and other staff specially for land acquisition for NIMZ.” As the land acquisition is critical process and it can delay the project if special officer is not appointed for it, he said. “Actual land acquisition will start after state government gives its nod for section 6 of Land Acquisition,” he added.
According to old-timers, for Butibori MIDC and MIHAN, the land acquisition posed a major problem which delayed the ventures and precious time was lost.
Bhakre further said that MIDC, Headquarters has given approval for land acquisition of 3,816 acres land in Kuhi and Umrer tehsils for the Phase-I of the proposed project. Forest, irrigation, mining, town planning, Western Coalfields Ltd (WCL), Environment and other departments have given their no objection certificate (NOC) for the project, he added.
MIDC has identified 9 villages from Kuhi tehsil and one village from Umrer tehsil for second phase. The corporation will acquire 2,316 acre land including 71 acre government’s land in Phase-II, he said. In all, NIMZ will require 6066.45 hectares land spread over 24 villages of which 20 are in Kuhi while four are in Umrer tehsil.
NIMZ are being set up at 8 centers throughout the country, which are expected to boost economic growth as well manufacturing units. NIMZ is being projected as a major catalyst for the region’s growth. However, even as two such zones have been notified in the state, the government has granted ‘in principle’ approval to Kuhi project. As per the government’s rule, NIMZ project requires minimum 5,500 acres of land. When acquisition will begin for the said site, Maharashtra Government will notify to the Central which will talk with international companies for establishing industrial units at NIMZ.
