In her first trip to a foreign country after assuming charge as chief minister of West Bengal in May 2011, Mamata Banerjee would visit Singapore with a business delegation to attract investments for the state.
Inaugurating a Rs 615-crore cement plant of OCL India here today, Banerjee said she would visit Singapore accompanied by representatives of various chambers of commerce.
She said her visit was aimed at bringing in foreign investments to the state. Banerjee said Midnapur district had already received investments amounting to Rs 40,000 crore, adding that the area had huge investment potential.
The chief minister said the government already had a land bank of 1,000 acres at Goaltore in West Midnapur for setting up industries. She said that all Sec 14Y applications had been cleared and there was none pending. The section involved land ceiling clearance for those units where land was in excess of 24 acres.
