The prices of Kashmiri apples have fallen and people in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch are buying them at low rates. Local residents gave credit to Mughal Road which reduces transportation time and urged the government to keep this road open for 12 months.

Mughal Road proves to be an effective link between Poonch and Kashmir as it facilitates the transportation of vegetables and fruits to the region. The road is an important link for trade and movement.

A resident says, “Around 15-20 years ago, we used to buy apples for Rs 150 to Rs 200 per kg. Today, we are buying those apples for Rs 40 to Rs 50 per kg. The reason for this is the Mughal Road…The government played a big role as they opened the Mughal road. It is a vital link for trade and transportation…We get all the vegetables and fruits from Kashmir in a mere 4 to 5 hours. We request the government to keep this road open for 12 months rather than opening it just for 3-4 months.”

He further said that if any accident occurs or someone is ill then by the time they are generally shifted to Jammu by that time they can be sent to Kashmir for treatment.

“This will only be possible if Mughal Road is opened for 12 months. Mughal Road is a gift to Poonch and Rajouri. Till the time Mughal Road is open we will get good quality of fruits and vegetables,” he added.

Mughal Road connects Rajouri and Poonch with Srinagar in the Kashmir Valley by a short route. The road generally gets blocked during heavy snowfall in the winter season. (ANI)
