Srinagar, February 19

Welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Jammu & Kashmir, the local industry on Monday said it expects the PM to address the key issue of unemployment and promote ease of doing business in the Valley.

The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) highlighted that the lack of infrastructure and support to industry have been a key roadblock in the overall development of the Union Territory. The KCCI looks up on the Prime Minister to implement his favourite ‘Ease Of Doing Business’ scheme in the UT, it said.

The KCCI said it would emphasize the implementation of the PM’s favourite ‘Ease Of Doing Business’ scheme. “The lack of infrastructure, multiple industrial policies, and lack of support to local industries has put a spanner in the wheels of development/ growth of local industry,” it said.

The KCCI said J&K has been returning to normalcy which has resulted in considerable growth in tourist footfall. “However, the ill-equipped existing airport terminal is causing tremendous difficulties to travellers. The Srinagar Airport needs to be expanded and upgraded to enable it to cater to the growing number of travellers,” it added. “The KCCI also looks up to the Prime Minister for special focus on IT, innovation, startups, women development, horticulture, handicrafts, and other sectors of the economy,” the trade body added.
