Kashmir Apple Growers Face Huge Loses Due To Floods And Highway Blockade
A farmer carries a basket full of fresh apples during the harvest season at an orchard that was flooded last week in Pulwama, South of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on September 15, 2025. Apple growers in Kashmir face heavy losses as recent floods from continuous rainfall damage many orchards during the peak harvest season. The problem worsens with the closure of the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway, which stalls fruit-laden trucks. The combined losses to the apple industry, a major part of the region's economy, are estimated at around Rupees 700 crore. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
