CHANDIGARH, JULY 13
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal has directed the concerned departments to route all applications pertaining to industrial clearances through Haryana Enterprises Promotion Centre (HEPC) and depute full time Nodal Officers in the Centre for ensuring time bound clearances under one roof. 
            Mr Manohar Lal was presiding over a meeting to review the functioning of Haryana Enterprises Promotion Centre here today. Urban Local Bodies Minister, Mrs Kavita Jain, Industries and Commerce Minister, Mr Vipul Goel and Minister of State for Labour and Employment Mr Nayab Singh Saini were also present in the meeting.
