He further ordered the creation of a transparent monitoring system to track land use and investor progress.

Chairing a high-level review meeting of UPEIDA late Wednesday evening, the CM said that land allocations should not remain idle and that new facilities should be approved only where genuine development is taking place.

“If an investor fails to utilise the allotted land within three years, the allocation should automatically be cancelled,” he said, warning officials against land hoarding and instructing them to ensure timely execution of projects.
