JAMMU, NOVEMBER 20 (STC): Jammu is increasingly becoming a crucial link connecting Ladakh and the Kashmir Valley with the country’s wider trade corridors, said Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today while addressing the Jammu Trade & Logistics Conclave-2025.
“Enhanced connectivity has positioned Jammu as a strategic gateway for the movement of goods and services,” he said.
Emphasizing the need to build on this momentum, the LG underscored the importance of creating a robust storage, logistics, and warehousing ecosystem. He said such infrastructure is essential to boost self-reliance, strengthen supply chains, and directly link producers with consumers.
“This development is vital to meeting the aspirations of our traders, industrialists, farmers, artisans, and MSMEs,” he added, calling for continued collaboration between government agencies and private stakeholders to accelerate economic growth in the region.
He said the Union Territory has witnessed a major transformation over the last five years, with significant improvements in road and rail connectivity unlocking new economic opportunities.
