What happened to cross border trade - Update

Srinagar: The absence of telecom and banking facilities is hitting the recently-started cross-border trade in Jammu & Kashmir. Fruit growers and traders in the Valley have decided to stop sending their consignments to Muzaffarabad in PoK.“We don’t know what happened to the 7,000 fruit boxes we sent to Muzaffarabad.

They were worth Rs 35 lakh,” says Haji Farooq Ahmed Malik, president, Kashmir Valley Fruit Buyer's Association. The cross-LoC trade began on October 21 on the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad and Poonch-Rawalkote routes after 60 years.
