Violence in Jammu escalates

Faced with an economic blockade of the valley by the Shri Amarnath Sangharsh Samiti, the Kashmir Traders Federation has said that it will snap all business ties with traders in Jammu region and buy products from other cities like Amritsar and Delhi. The threat comes in the wake of the violence in the region over the forest land transfer issue showing no signs of letting up even after 34 days.
