12-08-2021: A delegation of Chamber of Commerce and Industries (CCI) Jammu met the newly appointed Vice Chairman of Jammu Development Authority (JDA), Pankaj Magotra at his office chamber here today.

 The delegation members led by Chamber President, Arun Gupta welcomed his appointment and taking over as the Vice-Chairman JDA and conveyed to him that his appointment has raised hopes and expectations of the trading community which has been facing multiple issues that need to be addressed by the Jammu Development Authority at the earliest.

 Arun Gupta specially discussed at length with the JDA Vice-Chairman the problems faced by the traders running their establishments at Transport Nagar, Shiv Market at Railway Station, Bahu Plaza, and Bus Stand.  He brought to the notice of Pankaj Magotra the highly dilapidated condition of roads in Transport Nagar and adjacent areas that is not only troublesome for the trading community working there but has been irking the commuters passing through the area whether in their vehicles or on foot. Even the customers who come here have to think twice before their visit due to the sordid state of affairs of roads and lack of maintenance of infrastructure by the concerned authorities. All these shortcomings and discrepancies are cumulatively resulting in an adverse affect on the business prospects of the traders in this area, Gupta said and asserted that the concern deserves priority attention and the same needs to be addressed at the earliest.

The CCI President conveyed to the JDA Vice Chairman that today we are living in an era of innovations and latest technologies and it becomes necessary for the Jammu Development Authority to innovate fresh ideas to enhance the environment of its properties whether residential or for business category. He urged Pankaj Magotra  to take novel initiatives in the direction of developing a new colony for the trading community so people will always remember his posting as a golden period of JDA.

The JDA Vice-Chairman gave a patient hearing to the grievances, views, and suggestions put forth by the Chamber delegation members and assured them that all the issues of the trading community brought to his notice shall be addressed on priority so that this class does not suffer anymore.

The delegation comprised of Sh. Anil Gupta Sr. Vice-President, Sh. Rajeev Gupta Jr. Vice-President, Sh. Gaurav Gupta Secretary General, Sh. Rajesh Gupta Secretary and Sh. Rajesh Gupta Treasurer
