Hoarding business thrives in J-K, traders say it shows wider participation in polls
SRINAGAR, Sep 24 (PTI): There has been a “remarkable boom” in the hoarding and printing business in Kashmir during these assembly elections, local traders have said, underlining that the trend shows wider participation in the democratic exercise in Jammu and Kashmir where polls are often marred by boycott calls.
Local entrepreneurs say the demand for election banners, posters, pamphlets, and flags has surged to the levels never seen before in the Valley’s electoral history.
Jammu and Kashmir is voting in three phases to elect an assembly. The first phase was conducted on September 18. The second and the third phases are scheduled on September 25 and October 1.
