JK expects central package in Union Budget to boost industrial growth: CM Abdullah
JAMMU, Jan 29 (PTI): Asserting that unemployment cannot be addressed through government jobs alone, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said Jammu and Kashmir is expecting a substantial industrial package in the Union Budget to boost industrial growth in the Union Territory.
“Our expectation from the Union Budget is that we receive a good industrial package. Jammu and Kashmir has not received any central package providing incentives for industry since 1990.
“We are working closely with the Centre to ensure that J&K receives a substantial and effective industrial incentives package for the development of the industrial sector,” Abdullah told reporters after inaugurating the Startup Mela at J&K Entrepreneurship Development Institute (JKEDI) in Samba district.
