| NMC demand special financial package of Rs. 5000 crore | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Mar 2: Welcoming the proposed two days visit of the Prime Minister to Jammu beginning tomorrow the National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) today appealed Manmohan Singh to provide a special financial
package of Rs. 5000 crore to Jammu and Kashmir to completely fund the expenditure for implementation of the 6th Pay Commission recommendations for employees and pensioners of the state government.
Addressing a meeting of NMC activists here today, the President of the Conference Subash Shastri said that for the purpose, the Central Government and the planning Commission should find ways and means to
provide special funds to needy states. He added that the centre should immediately come to the rescue of J&K
and announce a special package. He said a lump sum amount of Rs. 5000 crore should be provided
exclusively for the purpose and urged him to raise the income tax exemption limit to Rs. 3 lakhs in view of steep rise in the prices of essential commodities.
He said that with price rise and inflation the salaried class is facing economic hardship, adding the raising income tax exemption limit from 1.80 lakhs to 3.00 lakhs would be a genuine measure to provide some relief to them.
Shastri also urged Singh to declare Jammu and Srinagar as B-1 cities of state. He said that giving B-1 status to both capital cities would ensure more flow of funds for upgrading infrastructure and
modernizing civic amenities of these fast expending cities. He said since cost of living also increased in Srinagar and Jammu it will benefit salaried class with increasing HRA and CCA. He said for being
given B-1 status both cities have required norms including population. Those who attended the rally include Askok Khajuria, Mohd. Shafi, Surinder Kumar, Vinod Kumar, Sham Lal Sharma, Romesh Chander, Ram Pal
Sharma, Kuldeep Sharma and others.
