The recovery position related to loan cases in first quarter of the financial year 2017-18 in Leh and Kargil District is highly satisfactory but there is an urgent need to focus on the cases related to overdue recoveries in both the districts of the desert region.
This was observed by Balbir Ram Rattan, Vice Chairperson, J&K Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes & Backward Classes Development Corporatiion Limited, while chairing a review meeting of Leh and Kargil districts at Camp Office Srinagar on Monday.
