New Delhi, Mar 26 (KNN) Voicing the disappointment over government decision for not inviting the chamber in official meeting of budget implementation, Kashmir chapter of the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry has appealed the chief minister, finance minister and industries minister.

The PHD Chamber said that the chamber and other stakeholders are upset that they have not been called for the meeting held by the government for the implementation of the budget announcements on MSMEs, handicraft and textile sectors of Jammu and Kashmir.

The chamber in a statement said that it is from the report that meeting chaired by the Commissioner Secretary of the Industries Department did not involve participation of stakeholders of different sectors while formulating decisions.
