| Jammu natives hit hard | | | Wrong policies of Union Territory administration have pushed businessmen in Jammu to the brink. There are reports that many of them are contemplating investing in other states where their investments would yield proper results and they operate their businesses without any fear or threat.
The business community in Jammu has been hit hard by what it calls the arbitrary decisions taken by the J&K administration after the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019.
During the past two years many such decisions have been taken by the government that hit the business community in one or other way. The scrapping of Darbar Move practice, allowing outsiders to take major contracts, keeping natives away from the major works has disappointed the Jammu people. Leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which won the 25 seats out of 37 in the 2014 assembly elections, too seem helpless; they have gone on record to say that bureaucrats are running the government and they are not being heard. The Jammu people have nowhere to go as no one is listening to them. The bureaucrats need to show some sympathy towards the local businessmen. The decisions that the helmsmen have taken during the past two years have mostly been unilateral. When the decision to call off Darbar Move practice was announced no one from the business community was taken into confidence. The decision was announced through social media.
On one hand the J&K Government is claiming that it wants to get more and more investments into the Union Territory but on the other hand it has failed to safeguard the investments that were already present in the Jammu region.
The last two years have been very difficult for the business fraternity in Jammu region as the COVID-19 pandemic broke the back of the business community in the region and the back to back decisions to regulate business activities in Jammu region proved to be a big jolt for the commoners. There is a feeling that every businessman from small to big have suffered after the revocation of Article 370 and if the government continues to follow the same policies, the day is not far when Jammu natives owning small or big ventures will migrate to the places where they can at least run their businesses in peace. |
