The government was requested to declare certain industrial parks as industrial townships so that they can function as local authority for all practical purposes and they will be out of jurisdiction of the urban local bodies. About 35% of the revenue from these industrial townships shall be shared with the local bodies concerned, according to the orders issued on Wednesday.
