JAMMU, May 12: Senior BJP leader and Chairperson, Waqf Development Committee of Union Ministry of Minority Affiars, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi has said that Government must clear liability worth Rs 400 crores of hot mix plant owners in J&K.
In a memorandum submitted to the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir, G C Murmu, the BJP spokesperson has requested him to clear the liability of Rs 400 crores of the past four financial years, towards the hot mix plant owners of Kashmir, who have contributed for the development of J&K in constructing roads which are lifeline for any economy.
“The industrial and technical sectors have always been ill-treated by the past Governments and this approach of the previous Governments has discouraged industry and has stopped the public sector investment in J&K,” Darakhshan said.
She added that the amount of approximately Rs 400 crores on account of macadamization in Kashmir Valley is still unpaid to the hot mix plant owners for the years 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19.
