Jammu And Kashmir To Get Projects Worth Rs 25,000 Crore By March 2021

Jammu and Kashmir will get at least 25 projects worth an estimated cost of Rs 25,000 crore by March 2021, The Times of India has reported quoting Union Minister Piyush Goyal. The Minister for Railways and Commerce was in Jammu on January 19 as part of a week-long public outreach programme initiated by the Centre to apprise people of the potential benefits of the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status after the nullification of Article 370 of the Constitution.

Describing Jammu and Kashmir as “jewel” of the country, Goyal said the Centre would come out with an industrial package for the Union Territory soon and expressed hope that it would attract large amounts of investment to the Valley. He asserted that development work has gathered pace in Jammu and Kashmir, especially after June 18, 2018, when the erstwhile state came under Governor’s Rule.
