Mr Fayaz Ahmad Aga and Mr Muhammad Younus Baba, Mr Muhammad Ashraf Shah. Mr Ab Rashid Wani and other field workers of Sericulture Zone Lolab. The people of the area are highly thankful to the honourable Minister for Rural Development j&k for taking such good steps which would definitely boost the Sericulture Industry in the area. They also are hopeful that such steps will continue in future. As we know that about 21% of the population of j&k are engaged with the rearing of cocoons for their livelihood.
However the people of the area are requesting to the Honourable Minster that tree guards should have been provided for the protection of said plantation area.
