Jammu, March 13 -- The deputy chief minister (CM) Surinder Choudhary on Wednesday said that those who set up industries in Jammu and Kashmir will have to provide employment to local youth.

Responding to queries raised by BJP MLA Rajiv Jasrotia and NC MLAs Saif-ud-Din Bhat and Mubarak Gul during question hour in the legislative assembly here, Choudhary said, "The house has a genuine concern. The local youth have suffered over the years but the Omar Abdullah government is committed to its promise of creting job avenues for our youth. If anyone has to invest in the industrial sector, they have to provide employment to local youth."

"Investors will have to provide employment to local youth and we will ensure this," he added.
