Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde Monday said that many industrialists are eager to set up plants in Gadchiroli, a place which once evoked fear due to the menace of Left Wing Extremism.

Speaking at the 'muhurat' of a film on his mentor Anand Dighe, Shinde said one industrial house has set up a skill development centre in Gadchiroli and it will train around 5,000 people to create job opportunities.
