Railways dispatch over 9 tonnes of Kashmir plums to Chennai, Kolkata

Jammu, Jun 27: In a boost to the marketing of Kashmir's seasonal fruit, the Jammu Division of Northern Railway has dispatched over nine tonnes of fresh plums to Chennai and Kolkata through parcel services over the past five days, an official said. After the successful loading of cherry and litchi, this consignment of plum is the next important step in the series of transporting fresh fruits from Jammu & Kashmir to different parts of the country, a railway spokesperson said. He said Jammu Division successfully loaded and dispatched 284 packets (three tons) of fresh plum from Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra station to Chennai on Friday. In addition, approximately 587 packets (6.1 tons) of plum have already been sent from Jammu Tawi to Kolkata between June 22 and 25, he said. Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Jammu Uchit Singhal said the successful loading of plum from Katra and Jammu Tawi is another milestone for the department. After cherry and litchi, the loading of plum proves that our efforts are directly connecting the farmers of Kashmir to major markets. Railways are ensuring quick booking, safe handling, and time-bound delivery, he said. He said the aim is to ensure that every seasonal fruit of Kashmir reaches every corner of the country. Traders and orchardists should make maximum use of the Railways parcel service, he said. The spokesperson said through parcel services, Jammu Division is connecting the orchardists of Kashmir directly with the national market. The continuous loading of plum after cherry and litchi demonstrates that Railways is emerging as the most reliable and cost-effective option for transporting fresh and perishable fruits. This is ensuring better prices for farmers and timely delivery of fresh fruits to consumers, he said.
