Indian minister for textiles and women and child development Smriti Irani recently said a textile unit would be set up in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district because of public demand. The unit would be set up after the district administration sends a request to the central government, she said while holding public outreach programme meetings in the district.
Appreciating the enthusiasm of people towards Panchayati Raj (local self-governance) and other democratic institutions, the minister said everything is possible with dialogue and public participation, according to a news agency report.
