Srinagar, Oct 25: A delegation of the Executive Committee of the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), led by its President, Javid Ahmad Tenga, called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at Raj Bhawan for an introductory meeting with the newly elected office bearers and executive committee members of KCC&I.
