Industrial policy fails to takeoff: Javed Rana

Excelsior Correspondent

MENDHAR, June 11: National Conference Pirpanjal President, Javed Rana today said that the New Industrial Policy 2021 launched by J&K Government with much fanfare has miserably failed to take off as there is no reminisce of this policy on ground because not even a single unit came into existence in the far off districts.
In a statement, the senior NC leader said that Government trumpeted for long during the launch of this policy by claiming that it will prove game changer for the hilly and tough terrain districts of J&K but the matter of fact is that the aforesaid plethora of offers and rules and SOPs never go beyond the limits of J&K’s capital.
Probable investors in districts like Poonch and Rajouri have forgotten that there was a clarion call from the Government to establish industrial hubs in their districts as banks and concerned department have also started denying to entertain people on the plea of taking incentives over this game-changer policy, he added.
Javed Rana questioned the veracity of the aforesaid policy and said this seems to be in continuity to other Jumlas which the present day regimes in J&K and at the Centre are known for.
