Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) on Thursday said that lack of infrastructure and mismanagement of traffic on the national highway is causing ‘crippling losses to the state economy and suffering to the general public’.
“The frequent closure of the Jammu-Srinagar national highway due to landslides and shooting stones, unscheduled declaration of one way movement, the two days closure for movement of Security Forces and the harassment of travellers due to multiple check points has resulted in the development of an abnormal situation of people being dissuaded from using the highway,” KCCI said in a statement.
