Chouhan urged people across the country to visit Kashmir. 'I would like to tell my fellow countrymen that the people of this place are waiting for them with a loving heart. Let us come here without any fear, without any hesitation, and let us set a new example of brotherhood and love,' he said. Emphasising the Centre's commitment to a prosperous Jammu and Kashmir, the Union Minister highlighted the government's vision of transforming Jammu and Kashmir into a horticulture hub, especially for apples, almonds, and walnuts. 'We are establishing a state-of-the-art Clean Plant Centre with an investment of Rs 150 crore to ensure disease-free, high-quality planting material.
