Fruity delight: Pakistani mangoes popular in Kashmir
Mangos received from Pakistan in trade across the Line of Control (LoC) are selling like hot cake due to the high quality of the fruit, Cross-LoC Traders’ Association President Pawan Anand has said in an interview to the Kashmir Media Service.
He said the mangos had reached markets after the local mango season was over, but were still selling at a considerably high price of 80 Indian Rupees per kilogramme.
Bhola Ram, a local fruit vender in Rajouri, said “We earn a handsome amount by selling these mangos, as people are eager to buy these without much bargaining.” While talking to the press, the Cross-LoC Traders’ Association president also expressed his concern over the decline in traded items.
