Mysore, Oct. 12:
The city’s Excel-Par Electronics Company’s Managing Director B.S. Narayan was presented the Best Industrialist Award by former Mayor & Mysore Industries Association President P. Vishwanath at a function organised by Rotary Mysore Mid-Town at Rotary Hall on JLB Road in the city on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Vishwanath said the entrepreneurs are the real creators of wealth. But it is tragic to note that neither the government nor associations/organisations are willing to help bail out industrialists when they are forced to shut shops for inevitable reasons. At the same time, a successful industrialist will be targeted by one and all, with the authorities working on taxing him. The present mindset of taxing a successful industrialist should go, he said.
Lamenting that nearly 70 per cent of the industries are facing closure due to problems such as power cuts, labour problem, non-availability of raw materials and the like, Vishwanath lauded Excel-Par Electronics company for its excellent management and service.
Referring to Mysore Master-plan-2031, Vishwanath observed that if the government gives its nod for the plan in its present shape, then there can be no doubt that Mysore would soon become a concrete jungle sans any green belt.
The Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) lacks any green idea. Besides, the earlier notified green belt too has been cleverly amended in the map and shown as agricultural land.
As per the law, the green belt zone in urban areas cannot be changed for any reason. But the CDP has no mention of the green belt and in some cases, provision has been made for constructing buildings in space meant for parks.
He added that a meeting of former Mayors has resolved to submit objections to the CDP in its present form.
Vishwanath also called upon all the informed citizens and industrialists to submit their objections and suggestions to the government in this regard.
Narayan replying to the felicitation, expressed gratitude to the citizens of Mysore and the Rotary for recognising his contribution to the industrial sector.
