apple industry in Kashmir is a vital source of income, generating more revenue than tourism. The industry has already faced challenges in recent years, including climate change, transportation delays, and low prices. The government's decision to waive import tariffs on US apples has further exacerbated the situation, leading to a decline in prices for local produce.

Jammu Kashmir mein, government ne panch new railway lines approve kiya hai, jisme Awantipora-Shopian route bhi shamil hai. Ye route apple orchards se hoke jaayega, jisse farmers bahut pareshan hai.

ko nuksan pahunchayega aur unse koi consultation nahi kiya gaya. Kashmir mein apple industry bahut important hai aur ye tourism se bhi zyada revenue generate karta hai. Recent saalon mein, industry ko climate change, transportation delays, aur low prices jaisi challenges ka samna karna pada hai. US se apple import pe 20% tariff waive karne ka government ka decision ne situation ko aur bhi kharab kar diya hai, jisse local produce ki prices mein girāwat aayi hai.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
