In his Republic Day speech the Lt Governor Manoj Singh described conduct of the district development elections as a major success of his government. He also talked about the government reaching to the doorsteps of people and providing the facilities being in an accountable and transparent manner. He warned against conspiracy of a neighbouring country without naming any while hinting toward Pakistan. “The security agencies have effectively controlled violence and those who are trying to fulfil their political motives with the help of this proxy war, are being given a befitting reply,” Sinha says. He says the government announced a new industrial development scheme 2021 amounting to Rs. 28,400 crores to attract the country’s major industries and investment in Jammu and Kashmir and expand existing industries. “This scheme, which will continue till 2037, will take industrial investment to the block level so that the goal of equal, balanced and sustainable economic development can be achieved,” he says. He asked people not to worry about the new land laws saying, “I fully assure you the safety of every inch of your land.” He talked at great length about the Ratle power project, saying “the government has given the green signal to an investment of Rs. 52,821 crores in the hydroelectric power sector.”
