Jammu, Sep 22 The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) Jammu on Wednesday expressed gratitude towards people of Jammu province especially the trader fraternity and Jammu High Court Bar Association and other Bars of Jammu province, Transporters and FOI for extending wholehearted support in making the Wednesday Bandh a great success. In a statement issued to media persons, CCI President Arun Gupta said that the overwhelming support which the Chamber has received from various quarters of the society in the entire Jammu province is the testimony to the fact that stand taken by apex body of traders is hundred percent right and the government should consider the demands henceforth. He categorically said that the motive of the CCI was in no way to oppose the government as far as abrogation of Article 370 is concerned as some sections in the political circles are trying to promulgate but the only reason behind this resentment is the lopsided policies of the J&K Govt. towards the business community of the region. The purpose behind the Bandh by the CCI was to raise the voice of traders of Jammu province as lately the decisions taken by the government especially end to Darbar Move practice, treatment with wine shop owners, abrupt closure of bars, SOP for Banquets, debarring of Mahajans, Khatris, Sikhs and Jains communities from purchasing of agricultural land in J&K, issue of Sand mining, Crushers.
