Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday claimed that the state has emerged as the most preferred industrial destination in the country and is witnessing comprehensive development in every sphere.

Addressing a gathering after dedicating a plant of steel coating products here, the chief minister said the plant has been set up at a cost of Rs 247 crore and it will provide employment to 600 youth.

This is a zero liquid discharge plant which will neither pollute water nor air, said an official release quoting Mann.

Due to the industry-friendly policy of the state government, Punjab has emerged as the most favourable investment destination across the country, said Mann.

The CM said a strong association between the state government and industrialists has made Punjab an industrial hub in the country.

His government's vision and ambition is to keep pace with changing expectations and new challenges, said Mann.
