Chief Minister on Saturday embarked on a two-nation tour of Canada and the US, during which he will hold talks with top industry leaders of those countries and political leaders to boost investment opportunities in the state. Given the state’s finances and the burden of bearing the cost of big-ticket infrastructure projects at this stage, senior government sources confirmed that funding for such key projects would be the mainstay of his week-long visit.
 
He is accompanied by senior bureaucrats from the industries and the information technology department. The CM’s Additional Chief Secretary Praveen Pardeshi is also a part of the touring delegation.
