Jammu Traders Oppose Separate State Demand
Some traders and businessmen in Jammu are upset because a few groups want Jammu to be a separate state.
The traders say this is a bad idea because it would hurt the economy and make things harder for everyone.
They think Jammu and Kashmir should stay together because they help each other with trade and jobs.
The traders also remember that when Ladakh was separated, it caused problems, and they don't want that to happen again.
They want the government to fix any problems instead of splitting the region.
They also like that the Darbar Move, which moves the government between Jammu and Srinagar, has been brought back because it helps their businesses.
Traders in Jammu reject the demand for a separate state for Jammu.
They argue that separation would harm the economy and weaken trade.
The demand was made by groups like the RSS and Bajrang Dal.
Traders emphasize the interdependence of Jammu and Kashmir for trade and tourism.
They criticize politicians for divisive rhetoric and call for unity and development.
