With the COVID19 lockdown severely hitting businesses and livelihood in Kashmir, Chamber of Commerce and Industries Kashmir (CCIK) Sunday sought government’s intervention to help revive the economy.
President CCIK, Ghulam Mohidin Khan said that the lockdown has severely hit the micro, small and medium enterprises, small businesses and livelihoods.
He said Kashmir businesses were hit since 5 August 2019 and thus it has been now 10 months that Kashmir was without any trade and business activity.
He said the backbone of Kashmir economy, the tourism industry, has been badly hit and people associated with it have suffered immensely.
“All sections of community including artisans, labourers, shopkeepers, transporters, daily-wagers have been hit during these ten months,” he said.
