Information deptt has no respect for PM Modi's vision to make business easy
Leaves no stone unturned to crush local dailies, add to unemployment
11/26/2018 11:12:30 PM
Early Times Report Jammu, Nov 26: The state run Information department especially its Jammu wing is out to reverse the slogan of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi that "Ease of doing business will ultimately lead to ease of living." The Jammu wing of the Information department has only spent Rs 4 crore out of Rs 17 crore budget allocated to it for the advertisements to be distributed among the local dailies in Jammu region. The attitude of the department has pushed the Jammu based dailies including Early Times to the edge. The department has made "doing business an uphill task" and it seems determined to make the lives of the people associated with various newspapers difficult. Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week had said that India is just a few steps away from breaking into the top 50 on the World Bank's ease of doing business index+ and added that the ultimate aim of ease of doing business is to improve the ease of living. It seems the Prime Minister Modi is unaware about how a state run department has crushed local dailies in Jammu and how difficult it has made for...

It is ironic that not even a single mainstream party commemorated the Constitution day," said a netizen based in Jammu. The Government of India declared 26 November as Con...
