Srinagar- Amid a valley-wide shutdown of fruit mandis due to disruptions on the Srinagar–Jammu national Highway, Minister for Agriculture Production Department and Horticulture, Javid Ahmad Dar, rushed to take stock of the highway situation and explore solutions to ensure the unhindered movement of fruit-laden trucks.

Dar said he is personally assessing the situation and examining what needs to be done to facilitate the smooth movement of apple trucks on the highway.

“I will today hold a meeting with officials in Ramban to discuss the issue and will also travel to Udhampur to evaluate the bottlenecks that have left hundreds of trucks stranded and identify remedies,” he said, as per news agency KNO.

Dar added that he has also spoken to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and IGP Traffic regarding the issue, requesting that one-way traffic from Srinagar to Jammu be allowed for at least two consecutive days to clear stranded apple trucks.
