West Bengal to scrap urban land ceiling act, finance minister Dasgupta says

West Bengal's new BJP government is set to abolish the Urban Land Ceiling Act, a move long demanded by industries.

The government also plans to revitalize derelict industrial sites in Kolkata, prioritizing them over agricultural land for urban development and economic expansion.
