MIRPUR (AJK)
\nMirpur AJK Chamber of Commerce and Industries (MCCI), President Umar Shehzad Jiral has called upon the AJK government to take immediate steps for the survival of the local industrial sector through correcting the collapsed infrastructure of the Industry Estates in industrial districts of AJK.
\nHe expressed these views while talking to a delegation of Kashmir Press Club Mirpur-AJK journalists\u2019 team who met him under the leadership of the club\u2019s President, Syed Abid Hussain Shah. \u201cMore than four hundred industrial units used to work in two industrial estates in Mirpur in the past which have shrinked to only fifty to sixty by now because of the poor policies of the authorities\u201d, Jiral underlined.
\nThe MCCI President observed that many more units were likely to stop working. \u201cThis is a very alarming situation and I have informed the AJK Chief Secretary time and again but still the result is zero, \u201c he added. The newly elected KPC president congratulated the newly elected office bearers of the MCCI and expressed his good wishes.
\nArif Zia, member of the executive body of the chamber of commerce was also present on this occasion.He said that the issues of fire brigade, water supply, security arrangements and electricity in the local industrial estates could not be resolved so far.
\nHe further said that one window-type swift measures were indispensable to run the industry and attract investors, adding Individuals\u2019 jobs could be created through ensuring the survival of the existing operative units.But since the existing factories are getting closed down, unemployment would resultantly increase, he feared.
\nThe president MCCI urged the AJK government to fix its institutions to prevent tax evasion and as such the evasion would end automatically. Jirral pointed out that thousands of youth have become unemployed due to the closure of the industry.
\nUmar Shehzad Jaral said that the role of the media being the fourth pillar of the state had always been exemplary and significant. He further said that the local journalist community had always done an exemplary job by raising need of early solution of the Kashmir issue, local problems and the problems of traders and industrialists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
