The revenue department has been directed to immediately delegate rights for the early disposal of proposals received from industrial units for reclamation of land and exchange of land.The official said that a decision to monetise expressways being operated by the UP Expressways Industrial Development Authority has also been taken."There are some major projects in progress like the Purvanchal Expressway and the Bundelkhand Expressway. In order to generate financial resources for these, it has been decided to develop land banks along the expressways. Other industrial development authorities have also been asked to look at similar options for generating revenue," the spokesperson said.( With inputs from IANS )
