JAMMU, Apr 30: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday demanded a dry (inland) port for the union territory to boost trade and business.
Omar said “I want to congratulate and thank Railway Minister Ashini Vaishnaw on behalf of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, for connecting Jammu with Kashmir through rail.”
Omar said “ I have a request for the railways minister, an inland port be set up in Jammu and Kashmir , even as it does not pertain to his ministry, but since he has the goodwill, he can use that.
There is need for a dry port in J&K so that we do not require customs clearance in other cities for our goods, which we export from here, the customs clearance should take place here in J&K, and this will benefit our trade and business.”
