The Government of Jammu has just begun to unlock in the phased manner and the traders are suffering badly for their survival of the businesses.
States like Gujarat have taken a wonderful step of waiving of property taxes, and fixed electricity charges since the lockdown has levied from year 2020.
The businesses of Jammu have hit hard due to covid, and businesses have been suffering since then. Thus, I on behalf of FAIVM J&K UT requests the Government of Jammu to consider the possibility of waiving off the Bank Interests, fixed electricity charges, trade license fees and other charges at least for the period of covid 19 so that the survival of the businesses become easier.
This step will benefit many industries, businesses, and small traders as well and will ensure their survival in this tough times.
