In a bid to dispel impression that West Bengal does not have enough land for industry, the state government has said it has one lakh acres of land with different departments which could be used. There had been apprehension in the industry on availability of large tracks of land in the state as the state government has moved out of forced acquisition of land. ´We already have 4,000 acres of fully developed infrastructure-enabled industrial land and another 4,000 acre under development. State departments are also holding over one lakh acre, which can be used for industrial development,´ state Finance Minister Amit Mitra said. The government has now initiated acquiring land from closed units and a committee has been formed for it.
