Consequently,  about 1450 fruit trucks have left from cold stores to Delhi and other terminal markets from Kashmir.<br />''<br />''Regulating the supplies of the fruit produce to terminal markets is bound to fetch remunerative prices for the dealers as there were concerns that due to extended lockdown, the apples may be sold locally at throwaway prices".</span><br />
