Centre Postpones J&K Investor Summit By A Month

The Centre has decided to postpone by a month its planned maiden investor summit in Jammu and Kashmir, a senior government official told The Hindu. The meet, which was originally scheduled to be held in October, had been postponed as the necessary arrangements including security for the delegates could not be made in time.

“There is no time to make the preparations and arrange the logistics,” said the official speaking on condition of anonymity. “It has been decided to postpone the summit by a month,” the official added.

Navin K. Choudhary, Principal Secretary, Industry & Commerce and Tourism Department, Jammu & Kashmir, had announced on August 13 that the summit would be held from October 12-14 in Srinagar and Jammu.
