In the previous fiscal year, an investment of Rs 2153.45 crore was realized in the industrial sector, and up to November 2023, Rs 2326.65 crore has been invested in the ongoing fiscal year.

This high-level review meeting follows a similar session chaired by the Home Minister on January 13 last year, where he emphasized a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism. Amit Shah underscored the decisive battle against terrorism being waged by all security agencies and expressed the commitment to strengthen the 360-degree security mechanism to eradicate the support and information systems of terrorists. The upcoming meeting is expected to further outline strategic measures to fortify security and foster development in Jammu and Kashmir.
