Priya Bharti Union Home Minister Amit Shah is on a three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, his first after the Centre revoked the erstwhile state’s special status and bifurcated it into union territories on August 5, 2019. Addressing the rally in the Bhagwati Nagar area, Shah said no one will now be able to create any hurdle in the development of Jammu and Kashmir.
He said Rs 12,000 crore worth of investment has already come to the union territory and the government aims at a total of Rs 51,000 crore by the end of 2022.
If the youth join the development of Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists will fail in their sinister design, he asserted.
The home minister said the government is aiming that no civilian gets killed in violence and terrorism is wiped out from Jammu and Kashmir.
Amit Shah arrived at the well-attended rally amid thunderous applause and sloganeering by people.
Police and paramilitary personnel were deployed in strength in and around the venue.
