State studies feasibility of a convention centre in Palghar.

The State government is considering building a convention centre, possibly one of the biggest facilities of its kind in the country, in the neighbouring Palghar district.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has asked the Chief Secretary to prepare a report on the project’s feasibility, which will be submitted by January 31.

State Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar on Tuesday said that the idea of building the biggest convention centre had been going on for months and finally, the State had initiated the process for the same. 'We are currently in the process of identifying land for the project. A 1,200-acre plot in Palghar district has been shortlisted. The Chief Minister has asked the Chief Secretary to come up with a feasibility report,' said Mr Mungantiwar.
