That the Prime Minister himself launched the ambitious initiative involving investment of Rs 30,000 crore on April 24 this year is reflective of the keenness of the BJP to make Jammu and Kashmir as a model of change, he said, adding that more than doubling of the investment to Rs 75,000 crore is sure to give big fillip to industrial sector.
He said the transport, trade and commerce have held the economy in most testing times and promotion of these sectors is top on the agenda of the BJP especially as these generate a lot of jobs to skilled and unskilled workforce. He said the Cell will endeavour for seeking timely interventions of all concerned for addressing the issues confronting these sectors. For this purpose, a close coordination with the stakeholders will be ensured, he said.
