SETTING UP OF MILITARY
STATION IN HIMACHAL PRADESH
LOK SABHA
Himachal Pradesh Government
had indicated its willingness to offer land in Una to the Army
in two pockets separated by a strip of land. The Army Authorities
while accepting the offer, in principle, for locating their units
and establishments, requested the State Government to offer land
in one pocket, keeping in view the security considerations. The
State Government has, therefore, been requested to confirm the
availability of land in one pocket as well as to bear the cost
of infrastructural development.
The Army authorities are considering
the suitability of the land suggested by the State Government.
This information was given
by the Defence Minister Shri George Fernandes in a written reply
to Shri Suresh Chandel in Lok Sabha today.
