SRINAGAR, June 14: National Conference (NC) today expressed concern over rising unemployment rate in Jammu & Kashmir, stating that 18.3 percent unemployment rate in J&K is the living spectacle of the incumbent Government’s failure in providing jobs to the skilled and educated youth of J&K.
The data, party’s state spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said, has again repudiated the claims of the incumbent Government on fostering employment extravaganza in J&K. “Yet again the CMIE has put the unemployment rate in J&K at staggering 18.3 percent. The figures have laid bare the hoax of much touted job extravaganza promised by Government of India after the unconstitutional abrogation of Art 370 on August 5, 2019,” he added.
Exposing the tall claims of the J&K government, these figures have again placed J&K lower than the national average, thus busting the fake narratives propelled by the Government on meeting the expectations of youth,” Dar further said, adding, Government of India’s policies premising on terminating employees and outsourcing the recruitment have further aggravated the problem.
