Shimla dist. expects record 1.63 crore apple boxes this season

Shimla, June 16 (UNI) Shimla district is heading towards a bumper apple harvest this season, with an estimated production of 1.63 crore apple boxes. Last year, the district had produced 1.62 crore 56 thousand boxes, yielding 3,25,137 metric tonnes of apples.

To ensure a smooth and organized apple season, Deputy Commissioner Shimla Anupam Kashyap chaired a high-level meeting at Bachat Bhawan auditorium on Monday. Detailed discussions were held with officials from horticulture, agriculture, transport, PWD, police, and APMC to ensure that arrangements are in place for transportation, road maintenance, parking, packaging materials, and inter-departmental coordination.
The deputy commissioner directed the Public Works Department and National Highways Authority to complete road repair and maintenance work on a priority basis. He emphasized that uninterrupted power supply must be ensured by the Electricity Board, especially in high-yield orchard areas.
