JAMMU: All Jammu and Kashmir Stone Crusher Association (AJKSCA) has welcomed the decision of Speaker Legislative Assembly to constitute committee to look into SRO-105 and opposition to its implementation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference, Association member Uttam Singh alleged that SRO issued during Governor’s Rule on 31st March, which imposes blanket ban on any sort of mining will give flip to mafia who would control the entire mining business. “There is a provision that only those can participate in auction whose annual turnover is Rs 2 crore. It is against the interests of the common man as prices of building material will rise”, Singh claimed.
Association has alleged that SRO had imposed a blanket ban on any sort of mining from anywhere which will bring stone crusher industry to a standstill. “We welcome the constitution of the committee to look into the issues related to the SRO and make suitable recommendations”, Association demanded.
He urged upon Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Industries and Commerce to intervene and direct concerned authorities to immediately revoke this anti-industry SRO.
Others who were present include Shabir Singh,
Waseem, Manzoor Ahmed, Ramesh Chander Kapoor, Sunil Choudhary, Bharat Singh, Sanjay Raina and Radhey Shayam Khajuria.
