In a distressing incident, unidentified thieves targeted an apple orchard in Gasoo village, Pulwama district, on the night spanning Sunday and Monday. Mrs. Tanveera, a widow and the orchard owner, from Rahmoo village recounted the unfortunate event, stating that over 200 apple boxes had been carefully collected and stored beneath tarps within the orchard.
When Mrs. Tanveera and her children arrived at the orchard on Monday morning to inspect their hard-earned harvest, they were met with a heart-wrenching sight – the apples had been stolen by unknown culprits. Their hopes of making ends meet and clearing mounting debts, accumulated in the wake of her husband’s battle with cancer and extensive medical expenses incurred at out-of-state hospitals, now hung in the balance.
In her plea for justice, Mrs. Tanveera earnestly implores SSP Pulwama to step in and address this grievous situation, extending a lifeline to vulnerable individuals like herself who depend on their orchards for survival.
