The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (APIIC) will develop infrastructure in the industrial units to be set up in the mandals.

The APIIDC has sent the proposal to the government to this effect. The district collector, Mr Peeyush Kumar, has asked the revenue divisional officers to find suitable sites between 20 to 30 acres in all mandals to set up industrial units. The APIIC will develop infrastructure like roads and provide drinking water and power supply to the units.

The department is hopeful that industrialists would avail the infrastructure facilities. The APIIC also proposed to develop infrastructure in two major industrial zones in Jaggaiahpet rural mandal and Nuzvid of Krishna district. Notification has been issued to acquire 650 acres of land in Jayanthipuram village and nearby areas of

Jaggaiaphet rural mandal. Survey is being done at a brisk pace in Jaggaiahpet rural mandal to acquire land to develop infrastructure.

The APIIC zonal manager, Mr B. Satyanarayana, told that the department sent a proposal to the government to develop infrastructure in all mandals to promote industrial development. He added that if the government land is not available in the mandal centres, proposals would be made to acquire land in each Assembly segment.

The government land is available in only two mandals of Jaggaiahpet and Nuzvid. So, the department of industries is mainly concentrating on these mandals.

The minister for major industries, Mr Kanna Lakshminarayana, is holding meetings with the officials and entrepreneurs to promote industries in Krishna district.

Plastic, pharma and automobile industries are likely to come up in these industrial zones.

Political parties and trade unions celebrated May Day on a grand scale in the city on Saturday. Activists of Left parties unfurled red flags at various centres in the city. The main centres and junctions in the city were painted red as the trade unions hung buntings and flags to mark May Day. The rallies and flag hoisting were a common sight. The slogans --Long live socialism, unite labourers, Long live May Day—rented the air as the workers raised the slogans at the top of their voice. The trade unions took out processions and resolved to emulate the martyrs of Chicago.
Celebrating the International Labour Day (May Day), workers and labourers took to the streets raising slogans and voicing their demands for securing their rights and privileges. The speakers stated that May Day was being celebrated to the achievements of labour in improving the quality of workers' lives, especially the eight-hour workday. But, unfortunately, the present governments were aimed at burying the rights and protection of the working class. The new economic policies were aimed at reducing job security and other benefits of employees, they felt and called upon the working class to launch a fight against suppressive policies. They demanded that minimum wages act be implemented in letter and spirit and wages of workers should be increased commensurate with the increase in prices of essential consumer goods. CPI city secretary K. Subba Raju, CPI(M) district secretary V. Uma Maheswara Rao, and others hoisted respective party flags at their party offices and main centres in the city. The activists of Satyanarayanapuram, One Town, Patamata, Centre, Moghalrajpuram zones of CPI(M) hoisted the flags. Criticising the labour policies of the government, they termed them anti-labour and working class. They vowed to fight against ‘anti-labour' policies pursued by the government.
