Dr Nirmal Singh listens to the public grievances

JAMMU, April 17: Cinema as a part of the entertainment industry connects people and acts as a bridge between various cultures, perspectives and thought processes. It enhances imagination and broadens our vision. It also introduces us to the various forms of art and adds unknown information and facts to our lives, said Dr. Nirmal Singh.

Dr. Nirmal Singh raised the issues of Cinema and entertainment industry, highlighted by a deputation in grievance camp at BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

Highlighting the issue, Dr. Nirmal Singh said, “The entertainment industry provides employment opportunities to a multitude of people. Not just the contribution in GDP; this industry has played a vital role in the creation of jobs as well. In fact, the media & entertainment industry has generated close to 4 million jobs all across India”. 

Dr. Nirmal Singh had asked the administration to frame necessary laws regarding operation of Cinema theaters in a time bound manner, while talking to the concerned officials regarding the exact status of the issue.

“After the Constitution of J&K UT, the earlier existing laws applicable to the Cinema theaters ceased to exist. The new laws must be framed as quickly as possible to bail out and boost the entertainment industry in Jammu & Kashmir”, stated Dr. Nirmal Singh.

Sanjiv Verma, Principal Secretary GAD, assured Dr. Nirmal Singh, that a formal order would be issued within a fortnight regarding application of Cinematography rules in Jammu & Kashmir.
