A premier Trade body of Kashmir Tuesday appreciated the ‘commitment’ given by BJP led union government on the floor of parliament in which it expressed willingness “to walk an extra mile” to ensure equitable development of all the three regions of Jammu and Kashmir.
Union Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, yesterday in Parliament said that it shall ensure equitable development with the implementation of PM’s Rs 80000 crore economic package.
“As the then state government (PDP-BJP coalition) was understood to have asked for much higher package which included return of over existing power projects and establishing new ones in order to tap the huge potential for hydro-electric power generation so as to help consistent economic development of the state,” the KCCI statement said, “the chamber again recalls the attention of the Hon’ble Finance Minister to fulfil its commitment in letter and spirit.”
The Chamber appealed Jaitley to revisit the relief package for flood sufferers of 2014 September deluge.
