"We have discussed various issues. What we have understood from the discussion is that the previous government delayed giving the green signal to various projects. We have assured GAIL that we will provide them all help. We have asked them to submit their project reports and expressions of interest in writing within few days," he added.
"We are prepared. We have asked them to submit their letter within 2-3 days. Our chief minister has asked us to look into the matter on a urgent footing," said Chatterjee.
"We will send the letter within 2-3 days. We will move forward together for the overall development of the state," Tripathi told reporters after the meeting.
