Ramban, Dec 26 : Reiterating resolve of his party to make Jammu and Kashmir an economically self-reliant state, former Chief Minister and patron of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today demanded implementation of the recommendations of the working group headed by former RBI Governor C Rangarajan. Rangarajan, who headed the Working Group on Economic Reconstruction, has recommended that two NHPC projects namely Dulhasti and Salal hydro electric projects should be handed over to Jammu and Kashmir. “For making Jammu and Kashmir an economic viable State it is necessary to implement recommendations of C Rangarajan,” said Mufti while addressing a public meeting at Ramban. He regretted that despite having huge water resources Jammu and Kashmir has to depend upon Government of India for economic development.
