In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K), the National Conference (NC) has expressed concern over the halting of fruit trucks on highway, saying detaining fruit laden trucks for days on Srinagar-Jammu highway is taking a heavy toll on the local fruit industry.

The NC Member of Parliament from Islamabad, IIOJ&K, Hasnain Masoodi in a statement in Srinagar, said the indifferent attitude of the administration towards the plight of fruit growers and traders is causing spoilage to the annual farm and horticultural produce from Kashmir much before it reaches different market in various parts of the country.
