Smriti Irani, Piyush Goyal Continue Centre's J&K Outreach | Read

A group of Union Ministers, including Smriti Irani and Piyush Goyal, visited nine places across the Jammu region today, as the centre's week-long outreach effort - which comes over five months after Jammu and Kashmir's special status under Article 370 was withdrawn and it was placed under a security lockdown - entered its second day. Textiles Minister Ms Irani visited Reasi, where she claimed a "new journey" had begun in the former state. Meanwhile Mr Goyal, the Commerce Minister, was in Jammu, where he said the centre would provide an economic package to help local industries flourish.
