Srinagar :The Kashmir Trade Alliance (KTA) has urged political parties to consider the plight of the business community while formulating their election manifestos.
The trade body said there is the dire need for economic upliftment of the business community.
“As we stand on the cusp of a new political era, it is imperative that our leaders recognise the pivotal role of the business community in Kashmir’s economic landscape,” said KTA President Aijaz Shahdhar.
He highlighted challenges faced by local entrepreneurs and traders saying, “Our business community has weathered numerous storms, from political instability to economic downturns. It’s high time their resilience and contributions are acknowledged and supported through concrete policy measures.”
Shahdhar emphasized the timing of their appeal, noting, “With elections around the corner, we demand that all political parties incorporate the needs and aspirations of our business sector into their manifestos. This is not just about promises; it’s about crafting a vision for sustainable economic growth in Kashmir.”
He said manifestos should not be mere documents of hollow promises and the trade body expects the elected government to implement their economic pledges with dedication and transparency
