Jammu and Kashmir National Conference leader and party’s candidate from Anantnag parliamentary constituency Hassnain Masoodi on Thursday asserted that the measure of not allowing trucks laden with perishable items has resulted in losses to traders, saying that the trucks laden with fruits and other perishable items should be allowed to ply on the Jammu –Srinagar National Highway.
Addressing a series of public meets at Pampore, Khrew, Hasnain Masoodi said that the measure of barring movement of fruit laden trucks two days a week has aggravated those associated with fruit industry. “The step is bound to create a crisis like situation in Kashmir. The incumbent government administration should allow trucks laden with perishable items to ply on highway. Who could have thought the PDP’s embrace with BJP will plunge the state into such a chaos where in our highways would be snatched from us,” he said, according to a party statement.
