The delegation apprised the Advisor of the challenges they are facing in the smooth transportation of livestock into Kashmir, particularly while passing through the state of Punjab. They conveyed their concern over repeated disruptions and difficulties being encountered by livestock carriers during transit through the state, which is affecting the timely and safe supply of livestock to the Valley.
