Srinagar (J&K), Sept 20 (ANI): People associated with the trade and tourism industries welcomed the Rs 1,350 crore relief packages for Jammu and Kashmir announced by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. "I'm thankful that Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has announced the package of Rs1,350 crore. It is especially important for the tourism sector which has been facing losses for a long time. We really needed help. This package will give a push to our industry," said Wali Mohamad, president, Shikara Association. Talking to ANI, Rauf Tramboo, a prominent name in the tourism sector of Jammu and Kashmir also echoed Wali Mohamad's sentiments and added that more such packages will be needed to bring the Union Territory out of the losses it faced in the past one year.
