SRINAGAR: CPI(M) on Wednesday, asked the Jammu and Kashmir government to frame a policy to promote the horticulture sector in the state and expressed concern over delay in transportation of fresh fruits outside Kashmir.

“The government will have to frame a well evolved and far reaching policy to promote and develop this vital sector of the state which is directly or indirectly guaranteeing livelihood to millions of people,” state secretary of CPI(M) Mr M Y Tarigami said here.

He said that non-availability of petrochemicals, fungicides, pesticides and fertilizers remain a matter of concern for growers next to poor marketing and transportation facilities. - PTI
