Roadmap for revival of sick industrial units demanded

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, June 14: Former MLC and National Conference (NC) State Secretary, Rattan Lal Gupta today urged upon the J&K administration to spell out a roadmap for the revival of sick industrial units, which received setback due to lockdown.
“The industrial units in J&K were already in bad shape and the current situation has further rendered most of them to more sickness,” Gupta stated in a hand out.
He said, the situation has further become precarious with the departure of migrant labourers and the industrial units portray a very grim scenario.
“In such a situation, the administration must come forward, devise a mechanism for industrial revival and announce packages in terms of waivers and financial push in consultation with the stakeholders,” the NC leader maintained.
He said, while the government has schemes for startups under Aatmnirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, it is distressfully silent over the existing units that have received a huge dent in recent months.
