Apple Trees Chopped in Anantnag Orchard, Locals Demand Stern Action

Anantnag, Oct 15, CNS: In a disturbing incident that has left locals outraged, unidentified miscreants chopped off several apple trees in an orchard at Siligam Dangerpora area of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district during the night, causing significant financial loss to the owner family.

According to reports, the perpetrators entered the orchard under the cover of darkness and felled multiple apple trees, many of which were ripe for harvest. The orchard owner and his family discovered the damage early Wednesday morning and were left devastated by the sight.

“We were shocked to see our hard work of years reduced to nothing overnight,” said one of the family members while speaking to CNS. “These trees were our only source of livelihood. It seems like someone deliberately wanted to destroy us.”

The incident has sparked anger among locals who described it as an inhuman act targeting the economic lifeline of a family. They have urged the authorities to treat the case with seriousness and ensure those behind the act are brought to justice.

“This is not just about trees; it’s about destroying a family’s future,” said a local, adding that such incidents spread fear among orchardists who depend entirely on their produce for survival.

The affected family has appealed to the police and district administration to launch a time-bound investigation and punish the culprits. “We want justice and protection. The government should take such cases as a direct attack on the farming community,” they said.

Police have taken cognizance of the incident and confirmed that an investigation has been initiated. Officials said efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the miscreants involved.

The orchardists in the area have demanded intensified night patrolling and surveillance to prevent recurrence of such acts, which they say threaten the backbone of Kashmir’s horticulture-based economy. (CNS)

Locals Stage Protest in Padshahi Bagh, Demand Immediate Road Repair
Srinagar, Oct 15, CNS: Inhabitants of Padshahi Bagh area on the outskirts of Srinagar staged a protest on Wednesday, expressing strong resentment over the dilapidated condition of the main road and accusing authorities of ignoring their long-pending demand for repair and maintenance.

The protesters, including men, women, and shopkeepers, assembled along the damaged stretch, raising slogans against the concerned departments for what they termed as “administrative apathy.” They said that despite repeated complaints and assurances from officials, no work has been initiated to restore the road, which has developed deep potholes and uneven surfaces.

“The condition of this road is beyond repair. Vehicles get stuck every day, and pedestrians are forced to walk through muddy and damaged portions,” said one local, adding that the road has turned into a health and safety hazard.

Commuters said that the stretch, which connects several localities to the city, has become unfit for vehicular movement, especially during rains. “Even a short journey turns into an ordeal. The dust during dry weather and mud during rains have made life difficult,” said another protester.

The residents appealed to the Srinagar Municipal Corporation and the Roads and Buildings Department to take up the matter on priority and start immediate repair work. They warned that continued inaction would compel them to intensify their protest.

“We are not demanding anything extraordinary; we just want a basic road that allows safe travel. If authorities keep ignoring us, we will block the road indefinitely,” the locals said. (CNS)
