Nobody can derail development in J&K- Amit Shah

Nobody can stop the era of development that has started in J&K. It's the land of temples. The government won't let the people who disrupt the peace in J&K succeed. This was stated by union home minister Amit Shah in Jammu while addressing a public rally on Sunday. Stating that Jammu was earlier facing much discrimination, Shah said the administration was now ensuring there was equitable development of the Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.  He said justice was done to all, including the Valmikis, Paharis, Gujjars, Bakerwals, refugees of West Pakistan and women.

Amit Shah said that metro services will be started in Jammu city and Srinagar within two years. Shah said that Jammu Airport will be expanded and helicopter service will also be started in every district in Jammu and Kashmir. He added, "PM Modi decided to abrogate Article 370. Discrimination towards Valmiki Samaj and West Pakistan refugees has ended. Minimum Wages Act has been implemented in J&K." The Union home minister said that Rs 12,000 crore worth of investment has already come to the valley and the Central government aims at a total of Rs 51,000 crore by the end of 2022. Shah inaugurated a new campus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Jammu.

Shah said 25,000 jobs were given to the UT’s youth recently. “Today alone 7,000 people got jobs. Our new industrial policy was mocked by the three families, but already there is investment worth Rs12,000 crore. As many as five lakh youth will get jobs out of investment worth ₹51,000 crore by 2022,” the home minister said, adding the administration would ensure nobody remained without LPG, electricity and water.
