This Get Real India report comes from Himachal Pradesh, where relentless rains, cloudbursts, and landslides have severed the Kullu-Manali National Highway. This has crippled the state’s ₹6,000 crore apple industry, with the Kullu-Manali region’s ₹350-400 crore business facing destruction. With no transport available, farmers have stopped plucking apples and packed produce cannot reach markets, leading to immense losses. One farmer stated that the cost of production is "₹25 to ₹30 per kilo… now it is not even selling for ₹20 per kg in the market." Orchard owners are demanding immediate intervention from both the state and central governments to compensate them for their losses as their ripe produce, destined for the entire country, remains stuck.
