NICE Managing Director Ashok Kheny’s closed-door meeting with Chief Secretary B K Das and other senior officials in Vidhana Soudha on Thursday morning has triggered speculations, especially regarding their discussions on the issue of excess land. A senior official, who is also a member of the empowered committee on BMIC, said there were no categorical statements made on the land issue.

“It was a review meeting. Mr Kheny was asked to submit documents regarding certain aspects of the project,” he said. However, Mr Kheny said the government has assured to give land according to the framework agreement. Speaking to press persons, Mr Kheny said the chief secretary has said that land required for the project will be provided.

He also said that he has plans to inaugurate the BMIC work in Mysore on July 5 or 6.

However, Mr Kheny declined to react on being asked whether he would move the court on being removed from the BMICPA.

He added that the review meeting of the empowered committee, that was supposed to meet every two-three months, has met for the first time after July, 2004.
