"This is about 65 lakh boxes more than last year's 1.40 crore boxes, Horticulture Director Gurdev Singh said. Traders in the Dhalli apple market near here said apple has been kept in cold storages by the growers and against normal flow of 1,000 boxes per day only 200 boxes are reaching the market and that too from tribal Kinnaur district and some places in high altitude areas.
