MLA Gulmarg Urges Govt to Provide Anti-Hailstorm Nets to Fruit Growers

Gulmarg, April 19, 2025 – MLA Gulmarg, Mr. Farooq Ahmad Shah, has expressed deep concern over the extensive damage caused to fruit crops in various parts of Kashmir due to the recent hailstorm. Describing the situation as unfortunate and distressing, Mr. Shah said that the hailstorm has severely impacted the livelihood of thousands of fruit growers, who form the backbone of Kashmir’s economy.

In light of this, Mr. Shah has urged the Hon’ble Minister for Agricultural Production, Mr. Javid Ahmad Dar, Government of Jammu & Kashmir, to explore the possibility of providing Anti-Hailstorm Nets to fruit growers. He recommended adopting the model followed by Himachal Pradesh, where growers receive up to 80% subsidy on Anti-Hailstorm Nets as part of a government initiative to protect horticultural produce from climatic disruptions.

“Horticulture is the lifeline of our economy and any damage to it directly affects the socio-economic fabric of the region. We need urgent and effective measures to protect our fruit growers from such recurring natural disasters,” Mr. Shah stated.

He further appealed to the government to consider this proposal as a long-term investment in the sustainability of Kashmir’s horticulture sector and to provide immediate relief to the affected farmers.

Gulmarg - A Legacy of Glory, Now the Winter Capital of India.

Gulmarg holds immense significance and a rich legacy, globally recognized for its unmatched beauty and prominence. It is a moment of great pride that Hon’ble Prime Minister of the country has announced Gulmarg as the Winter Capital of India.

The people of Gulmarg Constituency have shown great faith by electing Farooq Ahmad Shah, a retired dynamic IAS officer with vast experience in Tourism Industry. Having served as Commissioner Secretary Tourism, Director Tourism, Director General Tourism, and CEO Gulmarg, his deep understanding and commitment are unmatched. Under his leadership, we are confident that Gulmarg will emerge as one of the world’s top-class tourist resorts, Insha Allah.

However, the recently surfaced videos showing litter and garbage in this iconic destination are a matter of serious concern. It is the collective responsibility of every citizen, especially the hoteliers and other stakeholders, to ensure sanitation and maintain the cleanliness of this world-renowned resort.

Following the formation of the National Conference Government in October, the region was immediately covered under a heavy blanket of snow, making garbage removal nearly impossible during winter. But now, with the onset of spring, the officers and staff of Municipal Committee Tangmarg/Gulmarg are working diligently to make Gulmarg clean, green, and free from plastic and waste in the shortest possible time.

Hon’ble MLA Gulmarg, Farooq Ahmad Shah, is personally monitoring the situation and is fully committed to ensuring that Gulmarg regains its lost glory at the earliest.

Let’s come together to protect the pride of our land.
