Ludhiana, March 16 The Small Scale Industrialists and Traders’ Association has reiterated it’s stand of strongly opposing the proposed master plan of the city in which some areas are marked as ‘residential’ only, even though small scale industries exist there.

The Association has launched a signature campaign in this regard, and got signatures of over 1,000 small scale industry owners on the memorandum. Today, the representatives of the small scale industries in Shimlapuri and New Janta Nagar joined the campaign and vowed to oppose the master plan.

These industrialists asserted that these two areas have more than 6,000 small scale industries. They added that instead of declaring it a residential area, it should be declared as an industrial area, as nearly 70 per cent of the area has been occupied by the small industries. The industrialists stressed that these small scale industries have been functioning in these areas for 25 to 30 years.
