SRINAGAR: The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCC&I) has expressed concern at what it called non-state subject bodies representing J&K business community abroad.
KCC&I in a statement today said, It was concerned and has reservation on how the peripheral and non-state subject organizations like CII in connivance with any non-entity could be allowed to plead and represent matters of trade and commerce concerns of J&K with countries like USA and ignore the necessity/ importance of the role of the KCC&I and other State based organizations in such activities.
While questioning the level of understanding and knowledge of the CII with regard to issues facing the Kashmir trade and commerce and a befitting resolution thereof, KCC&I stated that in the past also attempts were made to address the issues without taking the apex trade organization, the KCC&I, on board but all such packages and pacts proved a mirage as the promised benefits of such packages never trickled down to the people of Kashmir.
The KCC&I therefore owns a responsibility to impress upon the authorities concerned to ensure that the Kashmir cause of trade and commerce is dealt with caution and pleaded with other countries only after taking into consideration the view point and presence of the oldest apex trade organization of Kashmir and also other state based organizations, the statement further read.
