JAMMU, Aug 23: Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI) has demanded establishment of camp offices of all major departments at Jammu in the wake of prevailing law and order situation in Kashmir valley so that the members of business community and people of this region may not suffer.
In a communication to Satya Pal Malik, Governor of the State, president JCCI, Rakesh Gupta urged that in the wake of prevailing law and order situation in Srinagar the camp offices of all major departments be established in Jammu.
The communication reads as “This is to bring to your kind notice that in the wake of prevailing law and order situation and restrictions in Srinagar not only the business community but the people at large in Jammu are facing hardships because of the accessibility problem and collapse of communication with the Secretariat in Srinagar”.
It further said “We would like to request your good-self kindly to pass on necessary directions to the concerned to establish camp offices of major departments e.g Drug & Food Control Department, Industries Department, Revenue Department in Jammu and HoD’s of these departments be directed to camp in Jammu for few days every week so that the files could move otherwise we fear that many business houses shall collapse which are already struggling to survive given the alarming economic situation prevailing in the State”.
