According to Minister Jha, Biratnagar Jute Mill and Birgunj Sugar Mill, among others, would come into operation soon. He, however, did not elaborate.
Minister Jha, on a separate note, said the government was working on developing a separate industrial security force to provide security to industries in the country. "The force will be mobilized in industrial corridors and major industries," Jha said.
He also informed the government´s decision to establish internet zones in all industrial corridors in the country. "With this facility, industrialists won´t have to come to Kathmandu to register their companies," Jha said.
