MIRPUR: Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider on Thursday announced a number of welfare projects for the valley.

Addressing a high-level committee in Muzaffarabad, the PM said that investment by entrepreneurs in tourism, agriculture and livestock sectors in the region will be encouraged.

For this purpose, Haider said that the AJK government would offer tax benefits to entrepreneurs to generate economic activity in the region and create job opportunities for the locals.

He added that the government would introduce reforms in the education system to promote merit, instead of nepotism. Further, clan and tribal affinities for appointments to government posts would be discouraged.

The meeting condemned Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir and called upon the international community to take notice of India’s state terrorism in occupied Kashmir.
