BBIA for extension of Central package at par with North East

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 23: Bari Brahmana Industries Association (BBIA) has demanded extension of  Central package of incentives for the J&K State at par with North Eastern States.
In a meeting of the  BBIA held under the presidentship of Lalit Mahajan in the presence of  Suresh Mahajan, senior vice president,  Varun Singla  vice president,  Ajay Langer  general secretary,  Vivek Singhal  secretary and Viraaj Malhotra,  treasurer BBIA, the members discussed the Centre package of  incentives granted to Northern Eastern States by ignoring J&K State.
During the course of discussions the members present in the meeting raised serious concern  for ignoring  J & K State by the Central Govt while extending the package of incentive to the North Eastern States resulting uncertainty prevailed in respect of future industrial growth in the State.
While appreciating the roll of Chief Minister and  Industries Minister for taking up  the matter with the Union Government for the extension of DIPP package of  incentives for the J&K State at par with the North Eastern States, the Central Govt ignored the J & K State while sanctioning a huge  amount of Rs 3000 crores Industrial Package to the NE States by ignoring the request of J&K  Govt for the extension of same package for the industrial sector  of  J&K State.
It is pertinent to mentioned here that the people of the J&K State are  suffering badly since last 20  years due to militancy and geographical location being located at the far end of the Northern India with land locked State, Higher Input Cost resulting higher production cost & limited marketing avenues, surrendered by the  neighbors like Pakistan and China but inspite of all the odds the industrial sector is working and providing direct and indirect employment to the lakhs of local people.
It is worthwhile to mention here that the employment avenues in the private sector is depends on the investment in the industrial sector due to limited job opportunities in the Govt  sector  and it is need of the hour to attract new investment in industrial sector by providing fiscal benefits to utilize the massive infrastructure available here.
The BBIA urged upon the Chief Minister and   Industries Minister Chander Parkash  to take up the matter with the  Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi.
