Interest free loan
Several people enter into business by taking loan from Bank, Society, and Finance Company against gold or properties. It is BCCI's dream to strengthen Bearys economically. For this, the BCCI has come up with a new scheme of providing interest free loan of Rs. 5 lakh. Already, 4-5 people have taken this loan. They must repay the amount within 30 months. This way, every year 25 people can be given Rs. 5 lakh loan to strengthen them economically. Our dream is to make this as a rotational cycle.

JK: Fire breaks out in commercial building near Lal Chowk, 19 gas cylinders recovered
Srinagar (PTI): A fire broke out in a five-storey commercial building near the Lal Chowk city centre here on Saturday, but was doused before it could spread in the congested business hub, officials said.
They said firefighters recovered 19 gas cylinders during the operation and there were no casualties in the incident.
Assistant Director, Fire and Emergency Services, Aqib Mir, said, "The fire originated from the attic portion of the building, which houses the kitchen of a restaurant. The cause of the fire is being ascertained."
"The attic was severely damaged. There were no casualties," he said.
The firefighters managed to contain the damage by swiftly dousing the blaze using a hydraulic platform, Mir said.
During the firefighting operation, 19 gas cylinders were recovered from the spot, he said.
