Separatists plan march to POK

The separatists in Kashmir valley today threatened to go to Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to sell their produce. They said, "Our fruit is rotting due to economic blockade of the valley by Jammu agitators.
We are forced to find alternative route to take our fruits to various markets. Possibly through Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road," chairman of hardline faction of Hurriyat Conference Syed Ali Shah Geelani told reporters here. Geelani, speaking after two-day long parleys among various separatist groups, traders, manufacturers, fruit growers and transporters, said it was decided at the coordination committee meeting that fruit growers will proceed to Muzaffarabad on August 11.
