JAMMU, Feb 13: The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) Jammu appreciated J&K Administration’s endeavours to pace up development in the UT by realizing several development projects one after another, here today.
In a statement issued here, CCI president Arun Gupta along with the office bearers including Anil Gupta, Rajiv Gupta, Gaurav Gupta, Rajesh Gupta and Rajesh Gupta applauded the efforts of Lt Governor Manoj Sinha for giving a fillip to development in Jammu by completing a number of development projects in record time.
Arun Gupta welcomed the installation and commissioning of the musical fountain in Bagh-e-Bahu Fort and relaying of stone for the Artificial Lake project. Assuring full support to the Government, he said that the exemplary pace with which the development is taking place in Jammu the days are not far when the tourist footfall in the region will cross all the previous records.
He said that this was quite necessary to provide the required push to the local economy as there is no dearth of natural beauty in the vicinity of Jammu City but due to lackadaisical approach of previous Governments the region failed to pick up pace.
He also anticipated that the interest shown by LG’s Administration towards improving the tourist edifice in Jammu region will bring tremendous changes in socio-economic profile through creation of new livelihood opportunities and also by significant increase in the influx of tourists hailing from different parts of the country and abroad.
He urged the LG to make sure that the Artificial Lake project sees the light of the day well in time because already much delay has been caused due to hiccups and lethargy of the successive Governments. “Once completed, the Tawi Lake Project will help in making Jammu an independent tourist destination catering the aspirations of the visitors of this city in a complete manner,” Gupta said.
