The Kashmir Mutton Dealers Association (KMDA) on Friday called off the strike by livestock dealers after the Punjab government reportedly directed police not to stop livestock vehicles at checkpoints.
The association said livestock mandis have also been asked to resume supply, but added that it is awaiting formal written orders before reviewing the situation on the ground and implementation of the directions.
The strike had disrupted the transportation of sheep from Punjab to Jammu and Kashmir, raising concerns over a mutton shortage in Kashmir. The issue had also prompted intervention by the Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab governments.
