An urgent meeting was convened at the Chamber House, presided over by Arun Gupta, President of CCI Jammu, and attended by other office bearers of the Jammu Chamber.
During the meeting, Arun Gupta conveyed sincere gratitude to the Lieutenant Governor for demonstrating a strong commitment to the aspirations of the people of Jammu by honoring the request made by the Jammu Chamber.
It is worth noting that the Jammu Chamber had previously called for the suspension of property tax and had even organized a Jammu Bandh in support of this demand. The overwhelming support received from the people of Jammu underscored the significance of this issue within the community.
