TNN Bureau. Updated: 1/19/2019 3:46:18 PM Jammu and Kashmir

Srinagar, Jan 19: Jammu and Kashmir Press Association (JKPA) on Saturday demanded all benefits be given to it on the lines of North-Eastern states as it has suffered immensely due to insecurity scenario prevailing for the past several decades.

In a statement here Saturday afternoon, JKPA president Ghulam Hassan Kalo said the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion Government of India has approved extension of all benefits to J&K as given to Northeast States under North East Industrial Development Scheme.

This, he said, is a healthy development and likely to boost industrial development in this trouble-torn State which has suffered immensely due to insecurity scenario prevailing over here for the last several decades.
