Pashmina activist hails Govt decision to break nexus of middlemen in auctions 1/30/2015 11:03:30 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Jan 30: A Pashmina activist Babar today hailed the government decision, on the recent controversy over the decision of Leh administration to auction Pashmina raw material to outside traders. However, after the outrage by local artisans and trade bodies, Leh administration decided to hold the auction at Jammu instead of New Delhi. The order stated: "The Managing Director J&K SICOP has contacted the district administration and Ladakh Hill Development Council Leh in this regard and it has been reported by the Managing Director, J&K SICOP that they are ready to participate in the auction and procure Pashmina Wool for further sale among the artisans and weavers in the making of Pashmina products" . Welcoming the move Babar said, "As an activist I represent the local stake holders and artisans and it is important to watch the interest of the community which is reducing rapidly and the auction of Pashmina should happen within the state itself". He said the decision of authorities would ensure the local artisans and manufacturers get their due share of the profit. "Holding auction for outside the state traders would have a drastic impact on the Pashmina industry of J&K. This move of Government will make sure that the artisans and manufacturers will get their share of profit before selling it to outside," said Babar.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
