Traders Federation Wants Dedicated Kashmir To Jammu Fruit Corridor

“We demand a dedicated corridor to ship apples and other perishable items from Kashmir zone to Jammu. We will offer all help to government agencies besides distressed valley traders in streamlining business operations”, CTF President Neeraj Anand told reporters.
He said Jammu is an equal stakeholder in the horticulture and tourism-based economy of Jammu & Kashmir, and the business community of Jammu region can play a supportive role in these turbulent times. “Jammu has large infrastructure like cold storage, warehouses, walnut processing units besides well-aligned transport business and skilled manpower that helps send produce from the valley to the rest of India and even abroad.”
He offered assistance to authorities in setting up coordination committees so that if the Kashmir Valley faces a shortage of any commodity, it can be arranged and shipped immediately. Neeraj also demanded that the dates for filing GST and annual income tax return filing should be extended as the current situation is not conducive for filing the same.
