Srinagar, September 15 :
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said that some concrete steps will be taken in the next 24 hours to address the problems of fruit growers after he spoke with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.
Taking on to micro-blogging platform X, the CM wrote, “Just spoke to Union Minister @MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari Sb regarding the situation along NH 44 & the lack of connectivity with the rest of the country along this vital link.
The frustration of fruit growers is understandable. They have been very patient for the first few days but watching their hard work rot because @nhidcl is unable to stabilise the highway, their patience has worn thin & that is totally understandable.
Some concrete steps will be taken within the next 24 hours to address this problem but I will wait for that to happen before I say any more about the proposed plan of action, reads the post.(GNS)
