SRINAGAR: Deputy Speaker, Nazir Ahmad Gurezi on Monday stressed that Gurez should be declared as an organic Valley, free from all fertilisers.
Chairing a high-level meeting on the activities of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) in Gurez valley, the Deputy Speaker said the valley has the potential of producing organic products.
“Topographically, Gurez has different weather conditions and the people living there are rich in producing the organic fertilisers by their own which can revolutionize the market by producing the organic farming like potatoes, maize, peas,” he said.
The Deputy Speaker was informed by the VC SKAUST that very soon off-season pea cultivation will be started in Gurez which can then feed the rest of the country apart from the Kashmir Valley.
