Govt must ensure fruit trucks reach mandis on time: Dr Farooq Abdullah

Srinagar, Sep 27: National Conference (NC) president and Member of Parliament from Srinagar, Dr Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday said that the present dispensation has “miserably failed” in ensuring hassle free movement of fruit laden truck on the Jammu- Srinagar highway saying such actions will have devastating, crippling effect on J&K’s economy.
This he said while interacting with the delegation that had called on him at his residence in Srinagar, a statement from the party said.
The visiting delegation apprised the party President about the plethora of issues concerning them.
“Our horticulturalists, small scale traders, and our artisans all are suffering at the same time. It seems that the government has so far failed to understand the demands and requirements of people of J&K otherwise they would have ensured that such vital sectors of our economy do not suffer this way,” he said.
