SRINAGAR: Syed Fazal Illahi who headed Kashmir Small Scale Industries Association (KSSIA) in the last term, was on Saturday re-elected as President of the association.
statement said that Shabir Ahmad Najar and Haamid Hassan Chashoo got elected as Senior Vice President and Vice President.
Syed Omer Rasool, Daanish Manzoor Mattu and Mehraj-ud-Din Posh were declared elected as the General Secretary, Joint General Secretary and Secretary of the organisation respectively. While Lateef Ahmad Shah was declared elected as Secretary Finance, Shah AsifZahoor will be KSSIA’s new Publicity Secretary.
KSSIA is one of the oldest industrial associations of the valley which happened to be one of the important constituents of FCIK.
The elections were conducted by 5-member Election Commission appointed by General Body of the association under the chairmanship of Altaf Hussain Malik.
The Chief Election Commissioner, while thanking the general members of KSSIA hoped that the new team in the governing body will work with more zeal and enthusiasm to address the issues of estate and units established in it.
He regretted the delay in completion of election process for the reason that some members wanted their close ones to file nomination papers for various posts and the case had to be referred to the General Body for clarification.
“It was in the extra ordinary Annual General Meeting held on June 15 that the General body declined to entertain any relative or representative of the owner and resolved that only the owners of industrial units could contest the elections,” he said.
Meanwhile, congratulatory messages for Syed Fazal Illahi and his team poured in from the members of industrial fraternity from across the valley.
FCIK President Shahid Kamili while congratulating Syed Fazal Illahi and his entire team expressed his gladness over the results. The Presidents of industrial estates of Lassipora, Ganderbal, Zakura, Rangreth and others are amoung many to congratulate the new team.
