J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said the rapid development in Jammu and Kashmir can thwart ill designs of the neighbouring country.
Speaking to reporters here, Omar hailed the recent opening of the Railway Bridge over the Chenab River as a “landmark event.”
“Such developmental initiatives would play a vital role in thwarting the designs of those who do not wish for peace and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir… like the neighbouring country,” he said, apparently referring to Pakistan.
The CM voiced hope that the tourism industry in Kashmir would soon be able to overcome the significant setback caused due to the Pahalgam terror attack in which 25 tourists and a local pony wala were killed.
Omar also said the report compiled by the cabinet sub-committee on reservation will be tabled in the cabinet within days.
“The cabinet meeting is held twice in a month. So far, the meeting has not taken place. The meeting will take place in the next few days and the recommendations by the CSC will be tabled and will be looked into,” he said.
