J&K among UTs under ease-of-doing-business focus: Reddy

New Delhi: Union Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy on Tuesday asserted that the Central government is committed to increase its focus on ease of doing business in all union territories, including Jammu and Kashmir, and stressed on the need for a “corruption-free and robust economy”.
Noting that India had achieved 100th rank in ease of doing business in just two years from 2017 when it was at the 130th rank, Reddy said the country would achieve a better rank in the coming days.
“There should be specific focus in all union territories on ease of doing business in coming days. It is emphasis of Union Home Minister Amit Shahji. There should be a digitalised work there. And people should be kept out of problems as much as possible,” Reddy said while launching a single-window online system for licencing of eating and lodging houses.
“There should also be a focus on combating all kinds of corruption for which the government would work in coming days.” The minister also focussed on people’s friendly departments.
Reddy said the portal is a step in the direction to achieve Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to establish a “corruption-free” economy by bringing in welfare-oriented economic reforms.
