Monsoon Disruptions Affect Kashmir Fruit Transport on NH-44 Amid Harvest Season
Frequent disruptions on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway (NH-44) due to monsoon-triggered landslides and rockfalls are causing concern among Kashmir's fruit growers as the harvest season begins. The highway is vital for transporting perishable produce like apples and pears, which form a significant part of the region's economy. Authorities, including the Jammu and Kashmir government and National Highways officials, are prioritizing fruit-laden trucks and fuel tankers to ensure timely delivery despite ongoing challenges and the concurrent Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage.
