Valley traders to snap ties with Jammu counterparts</b>
Srinagar (PTI): Faced with an economic blockade of the valley by Shri Amarnath Sangharsh Samiti, the Kashmir Traders Federation on Tuesday said it will snap all business ties with traders in Jammu region and instead buy products directly from other cities like Amritsar and Delhi.
"We have decided not to buy any product from traders in Jammu and instead buy products directly from other markets like Delhi and Amritsar," Chairman of the traders federation Jan Mohammad Koul told PTI here.
"We will not cooperate with the traders of Jammu anymore. We are not going to buy any goods from them ... we have decided to boycott Jammu traders," Koul said accusing the Centre of failing to provide protection to the traders of Kashmir.
<b>
"The situation in the aftermath of economic blockade of the valley and attacks on minority community in Jammu has made it clear that it is part of a well-thought out conspiracy and the Centre is involved in it," Koul said and charged the Centre with supporting the communal groups for unleashing "naked terrorism", he said.
</b>
Complaining that truck loads are not being allowed to move to Kashmir with the government being a mute spectator, he said the traders of Jammu have hurt their sentiments and set an example of communal hatred.
"We will continue our struggle for an alternative route to the valley," he said urging heads of multi-national companies to open their depots in the valley forthwith keeping in view the sale of their products.
