Achuthanandan had sought details of the Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemical Investment Region (PCPIR) in Kochi, National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (Kochi-Palakkad NIMZ project) and Electronics Hardware Park at Ambaloor in Kochi.  Chandy pointed out that all the mentioned projects were decided by the LDF Government itself and found place in the declarations in the annual state budget also. “It is sad to note that a campaign is unleashed as if the projects are new and there is mystery behind it,” he said. The LDF Government had even come out with an order permitting the KSIDC to acquire 334 acres of land in Ambaloor.“Governments will come and go. But the development process should continue uninterrupted. People are waiting with great hopes on the Emerging Kerala initiative and see to it that it evolves as a historic event,” Chandy concluded, once again pleading for the co-operation of the Opposition Leader for the initiative. However, Achuthanandan expressed dissatisfaction over the reply citing lack of clarity. He said that the clarification by the Chief Minister was not supported by documents and hence unacceptable.first published:September 08, 2012, 08:41 ISTlast updated:September 08, 2012, 08:41 IST
