Secretary General of the KCC&I said in a statement issued here.
Sheikh Ashiq Ahmad also urged for exercising of restraint by the government forces while dealing with unarmed civilians as the “repetitive loss of lives was a serious cause of concern. The Kashmir Chamber urged for the need of giving space for peaceful protests.”
The governor, Farooq said, was also briefed about the neglect faced by the traditional Handicrafts of State. “Several suggestions were made for the revival of the Handicrafts Sector like promotion of Clusters, Reduction of GST etc. The participation in Global exhibitions and fairs for Handicraft and Tourism sector was emphasised.”
