Section 118 of HP Tenancy & Land Reforms Act hindering Investments : Minister

Shimla, Mar 13 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh Industries Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan said in the Assembly on Thursday that Section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, has become a major hurdle in attracting investments to the state.
Replying to the query raised by Sukh Ram Chaudhary and Jeet Ram Katwal during the question hour, Chauhan stressed that while Section 118 has its merits, it will take up to two years to get clearance under this section, which delays the establishment of industrial units.
Business owners, he noted, prefer faster clearance processes to start production at the earliest.
