Development only possible when there is peace & stability: LG Sinha

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday said that development is only possible when there is peace and stability.
Addressing a gathering in frontier Kashmir district of Kupwara, the Lieutenant Governor said that development is possible only in the conditions of peace & stability.
“We have a clear policy of not sparing the guilty & not touching the innocent”, he said and added “On the path of peace & progress, it is our collective responsibility to ensure all the citizens lead a life of prosperity & dignity”.
J&K administration is not only ensuring economic development but also delivering social justice by providing land to landless population including tribal communities, Sinha said.
The LG said infrastructure development is progressing at a rapid pace & common man is the main stakeholder of development processes.
“Our goal is to ensure a feeling of safety, security & happiness in society”, he added.
He said the border tourism is promoted to link the far-flung areas with the mainstream of development. We’ll ensure expectations of people are fulfilled and all sections work shoulder to shoulder to build a new J&K.
The Lieutenant Governor also dedicated a multi-purpose Indoor Sports Hall to the youth of Kupwara today.
He said it will nurture their sporting talent & optimise their development. Also, Sinha inaugurated various development projects worth Rs 32 Crore for all round development of the district.
The Lt Governor said for a long time, access to facilities, avenues for career progression & opportunity to perform was missing for sportspersons. We are investing more than ever before to create a support system & empowering them to reach their potential & enjoy security in their non-sporting lives, he added.
