Goods worth Rs 18 crore were traded between Kashmir and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir during the weekly Line of Control (LoC) trade on the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road,officials said today.
Traders from Kashmir sent goods worth Rs 6.6 crore in 129 trucks to PoK,while the traders across LoC sent goods worth Rs 11.57 crore on Tuesday and Wednesday,Nodal officer for the trade N A Baba said.
He said 920 tonnes of goods,consisting of red chilli and coconut were exported to PoK,while 794 tonnes of goods in 124 trucks crossed this side.
Oranges formed nearly 70 per cent of the imported goods,which also included dry fruit and carpets,he added.
However,traders are up in arms over the delay in constructing godowns for storing the goods till they are cleared by security and custom officials.
“More than per cent of the goods are lie in the open with snowfall and rains in the area,” Hilal Ahmad,one of the traders said.
