Revive industry: AAP

Chandigarh, March 18

The AAP has held the successive governments in Punjab responsible for the “huge slump” in industry and demanded that the Congress government should help reviving the pace of industrial development by allowing special tax rebate and other packages as allowed to certain hilly state in the country.

In a statement, party MLA Gurmit Singh Meet Hayer said the industry and employment were synonymous to each other. He alleged that due to the deep slump in the state industry, employment opportunities had dwindled over the years.

He accused the state government of backtracking on the promises made to the people regarding generation of 25 lakh jobs per year. — TNS
