Track2Realty-Agencies: The Madhya Pradesh government is organising a real estate summit early next year to give a fillip to the urban infrastructure, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said.
“The state (MP) is going to organise a real estate summit in the state in three months,” Chouhan said at the ‘MP Real Estate Conclave 2012’ in Bhopal on Tuesday, Nov 6.
Speaking at the session on vision for urbanisation of Madhya Pradesh, Chouhan said there is a need to further improve infrastructure in the cities as 30 percent of the state’s population lives in urban area.
He said the state government wants that the poor as well as common people should all live in places that have good infrastructure facilities.
“We want to develop the state capital (Bhopal) as the best environment-friendly city of the country and we are working on it.
“We don’t want people to know the state capital because of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy (an industrial disaster caused by the toxic leak from now defunct Union Carbide Factory in December 1984),” Chouhan said.
He said the state was humming with development activities, adding that the growth rate of the state was 11.98 percent.
MP’s Industries and Commerce Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said people’s purchasing power has gone up drastically following development in the state, prompting people to buy houses.
“Around 80,000 km road has been constructed in Madhya Pradesh, the most important infrastructure for development,” Vijayvargiya said.
The state’s Urban Development Minister Babulal Gaur said beautification of Bhopal was on a fast track which was attracting the real estate business.
He claimed that Bhopal has Asia’s biggest man-made clean lake.
