In an effort to give a much needed boost to the industrial development in the state, the State Government has proposed to develop Bangalore- Mumbai industrial corridor besides formulating a new industrial policy.

Minister for Major and Medium Industries Murugesh Nirani told reporters here on Friday that the new policy, focusing on creating investorfriendly environment, would be in place in the next three months. ‘’While formulating the new policy, industrial policies in states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan will be studied,’’ he said.

On the industrial corridor Nirani said that a feasibility study on Bangalore-Mumbai industrial corridor was being taken up as proposed by the Centre. The proposed corridor would establish connectivity from Bangalore to Belgaum covering 11 district headquarters and 22 towns along the National Highway Number 4, he said.

Air Deccan stops Belgaum Mumbai Flights:Mumbai Hubli Also stopped

10:57 AM Posted by ukmad



Air Deccan has stopped its Belgaum - Mumbai & Mumbai- Hubli flights since the past month. I have contacted the authorities to know the exact reason of this closure of this route but I have not received a reply yet. Unofficially sources said that the route has been cancelled due to lack of traffic.

There was only one flight by which we were connected to Mumbai now that is also not there. For Hubli there is Kingfisher airlines which flies to Mumbai and hence might be the Hubli Mumbai Deccan flight might have been cancelled. But what about Belgaum, nor do we have Kingfisher no Deccan now. If we have to go by air to Mumabi we will have to go to Hubl or Kolhapur and take a flight.

Why does this happen only to Belgaum?
