Calling it a significant milestone, the Lieutenant Governor highlighted that the commencement of this greenfield project will positively impact the local economy, generate employment, and serve as a major boost to the region’s industrial growth.
“The manufacturing ecosystem in the Union Territory is expanding, and today’s project, dedicated to industrial development, will accelerate the mission of Aatmanirbhar Jammu and Kashmir,” Sinha stated.
He emphasized that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, the administration remains fully committed to advancing the industrial sector in J&K.
