PATNA: A logistic support infrastructure industry will come up at Bihta in Patna district in place of a closed sugar mill. This was announced by deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi in the state assembly on Monday while intervening during the question hour.
Sugarcane minister Awadhesh Prasad Kushwaha while replying to a question of Bhai Birendra (RJD) said that the government was prepared to re-open the closed sugar mill, but nobody showed interest and did not come up for bidding.
The questioner and other members objected to giving the land to some industrial house for opening non-agri factory saying it would hurt the interest of the farmers who were growing sugarcane. Leader of Opposition Abdul Bari Siddiqui (RJD) wanted to know what type of industry was to be opened at Bihta.
