Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday inaugurated a Rs 200 crore industrial unit of Eveready Industries India in Samba district.
Highlighting the significance of the project, Sinha said the plant will create local jobs, boost ancillary units, generate opportunities for women, youth and make a significant contribution to the economic growth of the Union Territory.
“Inauguration of Eveready’s plant, along with the changed atmosphere, reflects the sustained efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, under whose leadership a new destiny has been written for J&K. His vision has turned the dream of a prosperous J&K into reality,” the Lt Governor said.
He also visited the Government Medical College (GMC) here to assess the condition of two critically injured victims of the recent road accident in Udhampur.
At least 21 people were killed and 51 others injured when an overcrowded passenger bus plunged nearly 100 metres down a hillside in Ramnagar area of Udhampur district on April 20.
