New Delhi, Mar. 16: Prime Minister Nehru told a press conference here today that the old target of 10 million tonnes for steel production in the Third Plan still held good apart from the expansion of the old plants, “presumably we shall begin new plants.”
A variety of subjects was covered by the Prime Minister in his 60-minute conference, including the Prime Minister’s advice to the Bombay government over Nanavati case, steel and agricultural targets for Third Plan, Dalai Lama shifting to Dharamsala and Aligarh University Affairs.
On the question of steel targets, Mr Nehru indicated the possibility of a new plant in the Third Plan being set up with private collaboration, within the framework of the industrial policy resolution but with some relaxations.
On the Nanavati case, Mr Nehru said no disrespect to the courts had been intended but conceded that some other course might have been better. He disclosed that the approach to him on behalf of Commander Nanavati was made by the Naval Chief of Staff, Admiral Katari, and their intention in suspending the sentence was to restrict it only to the disposal by the High Court or Supreme Court of the petition for leave to appeal and not the final appeal itself.
