New industrial policy envisages to ‘position J&K as an aspiring investment destination’
Once synonymous with words like infiltration, mortar shelling and deaths, the areas close to the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir are likely to attract investment for setting up industries, according to the new industrial policy of the Union Territory (UT). In the Kashmir Valley, according to official sources, the frontier district of Kupwara, with the LoC touching the vast area of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), has the highest number of industrial zones at 27. Those areas that once resonated with gun battles, cross-border firing and infiltration are all set to see industrial growth in the coming years. Among the 27 industrial zones included are Keran, Machil, Tangdar, Teethwal and Trehgam in Kupwara and Uri in Baramulla.
