SRINAGAR: Janata Dal (United) Party President G.M. Shaheen has strongly appealed to the Railway Authority of India to immediately run special trains from Srinagar to different parts of the country for loading apple trucks, as the continuous closure of the National Highway has left thousands of fruit trucks stranded.
“The National Highway closure has left our fruit-laden trucks stranded for days, and apples are beginning to rot inside the vehicles. The closure has prevented timely transportation to both domestic and international markets, causing irreparable damage,” Shaheen said.
He stressed that apple is the backbone of Kashmir’s economy, and every day of delay means huge financial losses for growers who rely on timely access to markets. “The hard work of orchardists should not go waste due to administrative lapses. I urge the authorities to ensure smooth and uninterrupted movement of apple trucks at the earliest,” he added.
Shaheen further exhorted upon the administration to give preference to apple-laden trucks once the blockade is lifted, so that fruit consignments can reach their destinations without further loss.
