Apple traders, politicians in Kashmir urge authorities to prioritize fruit transportation on NH-44

Fruit farmers and traders are requesting priority for trucks carrying perishable apples and plums. Landslides and Amarnath Yatra traffic have disrupted movement on National Highway 44. They seek uninterrupted passage for early apple and plum varieties to prevent losses. Traders avoid the alternate Mughal Road due to its poor condition and limitations. Authorities are urged to ensure smooth, timely transport of vital agricultural produce.
