Kashmir is facing challenges for fruit trucks on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway despite having a record apple harvest of over 2.1 million tons this year, which is a significant increase from the usual harvest of 1.7 to 1.8 million tons. As of October 12, around 80,000 apple-loaded trucks had traveled on the national highway, with some being diverted via the Mughal road. However, P.K. Pole, the departmental commissioner for Kashmir, has reported a smooth passage of trucks along the national highway, with at least 1,500 trucks of apples being received daily.
