Srinagar, Feb 10: Senior vice-president People’s Conference (PC) and former minister Abdul Gani Vakil on Wednesday said that the fruit industry in Kashmir is at the verge of collapse as the government has “ignored it at the ground level.”
Addressing a party convention in Nowpora Kalan Sopore, Vakil said that the fruit growers in Kashmir are facing acute hardships as the administration has side-lined their demands.
“Although after the abrogation of Article 370, the Government of India had made big promises that the apple industry in Kashmir would be boosted through special packages but it had remained restricted to statements only,” Vakil said.
