JCCI disappointed with Governor’s administration; says MSMEs suffering heavily on account of delayed payments

Jammu, May 22 (KNN) Disappointed with the Governor’s administration in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), the Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industries urged the Governor for taking  necessary measures immediately to resolve various long pending issues.

The industries event said that if the state government fails to do so, the Chamber would be forced to adopt the path of agitation.

At a press conference, President of JCCI, Rakesh Gupta explained about the communication sent to the Governor and highlighted various issues including that of delayed payments to MSMEs especially by the PDD department in particular and late reimbursement of SGST.

In a communication, the Chamber had stated “Despite lot of communications to the concerned, the industrialists are suffering heavily on account of delayed payments to MSMEs especially by the PDD department in particular and late reimbursement of SGST.”

Also the registration process under the Investment Development Scheme is so cumbersome that hardly few people have been lucky to themselves registered, it added.

Traders are worst sufferers in the state due to intentional and deliberate inaction by some ‘corrupt officers’ in the administration vis-a-vis implementing the already sanction projects in Jammu, the Chamber pointed.

The letter highlighted, “Please treat this communication as most urgent and of utmost importance as we feel that the present administration is totally hell bent on destroying the State of J&K with almost no accountability policy promoting corruption which has never ever happened before under the Governor’s rule.”

The industry body claimed the projects under Prime Minister's Development Package for J&K have been totally neglected and DPRs have not been submitted resulting in laps of Rs 1600 crore.

The letter to the Governor also said “Not only the common people of the State but also the business community who have been facing heavy losses because of the highway movement ban imposed for civil traffic for last many days. The Jammu Chamber of Commerce & Industry did not react before keeping in view the movement of the security forces because of the ongoing Loksabha elections. We request your goodselves to order immediate lifting of this highway movement ban of civil traffic.”
