700 Truckloads of Apple Leave Jammu and Kashmir

New Delhi: More than 700 truckloads of apple have been transported from Jammu and Kashmir to wholesale markets in North India over the past two days with normal trading activities resuming in the Valley, Army officers said on Thursday. Inter-state trading activities are gradually resuming in Jammu and Kashmir with curbs being lifted in a phased manner following over a month of restrictions since the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5. With the apple-picking season in the Valley now in full flow, security agencies have gradually started to remove restrictions on inter-state trading of the fruit. “Nearly 300 trucks loaded with apples had left from Shopian district for the plains beyond Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday. On Thursday, over 400 trucks left from the Sopore market and have crossed the border of Jammu and Kashmir and are now bound for other states,” said an Army officer. (IANS)
