Express News ServiceBENGALURU: Bad roads and unkempt premises are a common sight at the 3,000-acre industrial area in Peenya which has at least 6,000 industries, said Prithviraj, chairman of the committee for the establishment of Peenya Industrial Township Authority. Prithviraj has been advocating for a township status for the Peenya Industrial Area for almost two decades. The seven-year struggle to attain township tag has been worthwhile for Electronics City Industrial Township Authority (ELCITA). Chairman of the research committee of M Vishvevaraya Economic Research Centre, FKCCI, D Muralidhar said the state has at least 50 industrial estates but just one township — Electronics City. Even after 25 years of ‘industrial policy for township’, Janardhan said the policy is yet to be implemented in Karnataka..
