Chandigarh, May 11 (FN Agency) A modified and simplified GST regime will be among the top most priorities of the INDIA government once it assumes office after June 4, Congress leader Manish Tewari said on Friday. Addressing a function organised by the Chandigarh chapter of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII),Tewari, the Congress candidate from the seat, said the Congress has a track record of ensuring a trade and business friendly environment free from Inspector raj and Tax terrorism. The CII members urged Tewari to get the Mohali International Airport energised.

They pointed out that despite extensive infrastructure and adequate facilities available, there were hardly any International flights from the airport. They also suggested greater synergy in administration of the Tri-City to provide a better and business friendly environment.
