Good response to food processing policy
The Telangana government has decided to not permit residential colonies to come up in a 500-metre radius around the special food processing zones proposed in different parts of the State. This is to avoid a scenario of residents complaining against units in these zones in future for being a source of disturbance, Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar said, seeking to highlight measures outlined by the government to promote growth of the food processing sector. Addressing a conference on ‘Decoding Telangana State - Food Processing and Preservation Policy 2021’ organised by FTCCI on Friday, he said land for the food processing zones had been identified in many districts. The response to the policy as well as to the call for applications, for setting up these units, has been good, he said.More Related News
