Prices swung wildly after the “egg scare”, but deregulation now shields sellers, not buyers.

Over the past month, since egg-scare caught Kashmir following the ‘Eggoz’ brand egg controversy, prices have undergone a roller coaster of change.

Back on Kashmiri plates, eggs have become at least 20 percent costlier in just a month, and there is no way consumers can complain about it, thanks to the deregulation of commodity prices in 2023.

All poultry eggs, irrespective of variety and quantity, used to cost at least 30 percent cheaper just a month ago.

When an egg brand ‘Eggoz’ hit the headlines for alleged contaminations and health concerns, consumers in Kashmir went into a frenzy.

Egg trays were returned to local stores, while many discarded their egg trays in panic.

Prices dropped drastically, a tray selling for Rs 100 in some areas.

However, soon after, when it was reiterated by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) that eggs continue to remain safe, consumers turned to their eggs again as a source of affordable protein in their diets.

Soon, the cost of eggs surged dramatically.

Individual eggs are selling for Rs 8 to Rs 11 per piece.

There has been a 25 to 40 percent increase in some areas.

Kashmir consumers expect the government to intervene and control the prices of eggs.

Joint Controller, Legal Metrology, Kashmir, Tanveer Ahmad, when asked why the prices of eggs cannot be regulated by the administration, said that as per an SO issued in 2023, prices of essential commodities like meat, meat products, fish, fish products, milk, milk products, poultry, and eggs have been decontrolled.

“There is a clear-cut order that no authority will fix the price of any essential commodity. Therefore, the prices of eggs are not under our control,” he said.

He was referring to SO 300 issued by the J&K government on June 1, 2023.

Currently, a box of eggs with seven egg trays costs anywhere between Rs 1500 and Rs 1700.

An egg tray, with 30 eggs, the regular farm white egg variety, can cost Rs 200 to Rs 280.

The organic eggs cost Rs 200 to Rs 300 per dozen.

The egg prices also vary by the area in which they are sold.

Eggs cost cheaper in old parts of the city, in market hubs like Maharaj Bazaar, Safa Kadal, and Batamaloo, compared to Rawalpora, Nishat, and other areas.

In villages, prices vary by distance from town, customarily increasing as the distance increases. In Jammu, an egg tray costs anywhere between Rs 190 and Rs 250.

Over the past week, egg prices have seen a downward trend in Jammu, while the Kashmir division is recording a spike.

A consumer, Danish Ahmad, told Greater Kashmir that he buys eggs in bulk for the family, as his parents have been advised a high-protein diet, while he himself is also a gym trainer.

“Compared to last year, I have to pay Rs 200 extra per box now. Why is no one checking the market?” he said.

Many critics point to a lack of market regulation in winters in Kashmir, as well as disruption in the supply of eggs due to highway impediments.

Why Govt can’t fix egg, meat, poultry prices

In June 2023, the J&K government issued a notification (S O 300, dated June 1, 2023) that revoked the J&K Mutton (Licensing and Control) Order, 1973, that had been issued vide SRO-646 dated December 19, 1973.

This order was prompted by a clarification from the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution (Government of India). The clarification declared that the foundational notification S O 145(E) dated February 15, 1990, which gave price regulation powers to J&K, was no longer valid.

It directed all relevant authorities, including the Directorates of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs J&K to refrain from issuing or enforcing any price notifications or controls on livestock products.

This effectively deregulated prices for key livestock essentials such as mutton, poultry, and eggs.

Without the legal authority, there is no framework to fix maximum retail prices or penalise overcharging.

It is impossible for the government or consumer protection bodies to cap escalating costs. The prices are determined solely by market forces of supply, demand, transportation costs, seasonal factors, and trader discretion.

The PMDP, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 7, 2015, was conceived as a comprehensive reconstruction and development plan for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, with an overall financial outlay of Rs 80,068 crore.

The package was structured around five pillars – humanitarian relief, crisis management, social infrastructure, development projects and economic infrastructure – aimed at addressing long-standing developmental gaps and post-crisis needs.

Originally comprising 63 projects, the PMDP was rationalised after the reorganisation of the erstwhile state into Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh in August 2019.

As a result, 53 projects remained applicable to J&K.

According to official data up to November 2025 accessed by Greater Kashmir, 29 projects have been fully completed, including nine implemented by the Government of India and 20 by the J&K government.

In addition, 14 projects – four central and 10 UT-level – have been declared substantially completed.

Together, this places 43 out of 53 projects, or 81.13 percent, in the completed or near-completion category.

“Financial progress under the PMDP has also been described as robust. Of the Rs 56,946.58 crore released so far for the 53 projects, an amount of Rs 54,986.17 crore has been spent, translating into a utilisation rate of 96.56 percent of the released funds. The overall expenditure stands at nearly 80 percent of the total sanctioned cost,” the data reveals.

A senior official from the Planning Department said that sustained monitoring and coordination had played a key role in maintaining momentum despite multiple challenges.

“Large infrastructure projects inevitably faced hurdles such as land acquisition, forest clearances, shifting of utilities and ongoing legal proceedings. These issues initially slowed execution, but focused intervention and inter-departmental coordination helped clear most bottlenecks,” the official said.

As per the Planning Department’s summary, central sector projects under the PMDP had an original outlay of Rs 26,971 crore, while state projects accounted for Rs 31,513.63 crore. Subsequent revisions, particularly in major road and infrastructure works, pushed the combined sanctioned cost to Rs 68,905.39 crore.

Expenditure against sanctioned cost has reached 83.73 percent for central projects and 73.70 percent for UT projects.

Officials said utilisation against funds released is close to full for central projects at 99.74 percent, while J&K projects have recorded over 91 percent utilisation, reflecting improved execution capacity and financial discipline.

With most projects either completed or nearing completion, the Planning Department said the focus has now shifted to expediting the remaining works and ensuring that the intended economic and social benefits of the PMDP are fully realised across J&K.

The Union Power Minister, who was on a two-day visit to J&K for inspection of power projects in Reasi, Kishtwar, and Ramban districts, stated this while responding to media queries in Kishtwar about Pakistan’s objections to different hydro-electric projects in J&K.

“The Prime Minister has already given a clear message to Pakistan that the Indus Water Treaty has been kept in abeyance and now its objections will not be acknowledged. The Prime Minister has made it clear that the water of the Chenab and other rivers will be used to serve the interests of our country as much as possible. We don’t have any other concern (vis-à-vis Pakistan’s objections),” Khattar said.

In the same breath, he said, “Whether it is related to power generation or use of water for irrigation or other purposes, for us, the interests of our country, its people, and the farmers will reign supreme, and we will give precedence to that, as per our requirements.”

Regarding the Ratle power project controversy that “some anti-national people” were employed there, the Union Power Minister said that he had not received any complaint in writing so far on that account. “We will take cognisance if we get it (complaint in writing),” he stated.

With regard to power projects in J&K, Khattar asserted that the issues plaguing all the projects were resolved, and they (projects) were progressing smoothly.

Stating that it was the first visit by the Union Power Minister after putting the IWT in abeyance, he said that work on Ratle, Salal, and Sawalkote projects was being brought on track.

“Directions have been issued to complete them in time. Their completion will benefit J&K and the entire country with the addition to the power generation,” the Union Power Minister said.

Meanwhile, following inspection of three projects of Chenab Valley Power Projects (CVPP) Limited, Khattar also issued directions to commission the Pakal Dul and Kiru projects by December 2026 and the Kwar project by March 2028.

Earlier today, he inspected three projects of Chenab Valley Power Projects (CVPP) Limited, namely Pakal Dul (1000 MW), Kiru (624 MW), and Kwar (540 MW). He also held a review meeting with the project heads and contractors.

The CMD, NHPC, briefed Khattar in detail on various aspects of the three under-construction projects.

The Union Minister also interacted with local residents and workers at various work sites and patiently listened to their issues. After reviewing all the works, the Minister appreciated the personnel and workers for working under challenging conditions and wished them well.

Khattar, who concluded his two-day visit to J&K on Monday, January 5, 2026, had reviewed the Salal, Sawalkot, and Ratle projects on Sunday.

Late Sunday evening, the Minister also inspected NHPC’s Dulhasti Power Station at Kishtwar.

At Dulhasti Power Station, he was received by Sanjay Kumar Singh, Director (Projects), and Ramesh Mukhiya, Managing Director, CVPP, and other officials of NHPC and CVPP.

The ski resort, which received fresh snowfall on Sunday afternoon, continued to draw snow enthusiasts as conditions improved for skiing.

A brief spell of light snowfall was also witnessed at Sonamarg at around 9 pm, but it didn’t accumulate. Temperatures across the region remained below freezing, highlighting the intensity of the ongoing cold spell.

While night temperatures tumbled to minus 8.8 degrees Celsius in Gulmarg, followed by Shopian at minus 5.6 degrees Celsius and Pahalgam at minus 4.8 degrees Celsius, Srinagar recorded a low of minus 3.6 degrees Celsius.

Budgam dipped to minus 3.5 degrees Celsius and Awantipora to minus 3.2 degrees Celsius.

Pulwama recorded a minimum of minus 4.2 degrees Celsius, Anantnag minus 3.2 degrees Celsius, and Pampore minus 2.5 degrees Celsius, while north Kashmir areas Kupwara and Baramulla recorded minus 1.8 degrees Celsius and minus 0.7 degrees Celsius.

Stakeholders said snow-related activities in Gulmarg have resumed following recent snowfall.

Director of the Gulmarg Adventure Academy, Azhar Fayaz Lone, said snow biking, ATV rides and snow sledge rides had become functional after fresh snowfall in the resort.

“Basic ski and snowboard courses have also been launched,” he said.

Lone said that the Kangdoori area received about 1.5 feet of snow on Monday.

“The snowfall has led to a rise in tourist arrivals, with a steady rush of visitors since Christmas,” he said.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) officials, conditions on Tuesday are expected to remain mostly cloudy, with chances of light snow at isolated higher elevations in north and central Kashmir.

From January 7 to January 15, the weather is likely to be partly cloudy, with no major weather system forecast during the period, allowing tourist and outdoor activities to continue, the officials said.

The prolonged cold has pushed up demand for heating and electricity across the Valley, while officials said the sub-zero temperatures were also helping sustain snow cover at tourist destinations and higher reaches.

M M Parvaiz reports from Ramban

The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway (NH-44) remained open for two-way traffic on Monday.

Traffic authorities said that, subject to fair weather and satisfactory road conditions, Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) and heavy vehicles would continue to be allowed from both directions on Tuesday.

Officials said that LMVs and heavy vehicles were permitted to move throughout the day in both directions.

However, traffic movement remained slow at several locations due to single-lane stretches and vehicle breakdowns.

Traffic congestion was reported at Balinalla, Dewal, Nashri-Dalwas, and along the Marog-Kishtwari Pather stretch.

Engineers of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said that road repair and construction work is underway at several locations between Udhampur-Ramban and Ramban-Banihal sectors.

Authorities have advised travellers to check the latest traffic updates from Traffic Control Units (TCUs) at Srinagar, Ramban, and Jammu, and follow official advisories issued through the social media platforms of the J&K Traffic Police before commencing their journey.

Passengers were urged to prefer daytime travel and avoid night journeys, especially on vulnerable stretches of the highway.

Officials cautioned that the movement of heavy vehicles between the Nashri and Navyug tunnels during night hours could cause inconvenience and lead to further congestion.

Drivers were also advised to maintain lane discipline, as overtaking and wrong-lane driving could trigger traffic jams and pose serious safety risks.

Meanwhile, the Kishtwar-Sinthan Top-Anantnag National Highway remained closed due to the accumulation of snow along the route.

Authorities said that restoration work would begin once weather conditions improve in the area.

Senior Superintendent of Police (Traffic), National Highway, Ramban, Raja Adil Hamid told Greater Kashmir that Dense Bitumen Macadam (DBM) work and traffic regulation were being carried out simultaneously at Digdool.

Sumit Bhargav reports from Rajouri

The Mughal Road was once again closed for traffic just a day after it was restored for the movement of vehicles.

Earlier, the road connecting Rajouri and Poonch districts of Pir Panjal region with Shopian district of Kashmir got closed for traffic on Thursday and was restored on Sunday morning, with authorities notifying a time slot of 4 hours for the movement of vehicles.

However, on Monday afternoon, the road again got closed.

SSP Traffic, Jammu Rural, Farooq Qaiser said that in view of fresh snowfall at Pir Ki Gali, all kinds of traffic on the Mughal Road are hereby stopped with immediate effect.

“The restriction will remain in force till further notice,” he said.

The animal was tranquilised in Dachigam National Park in November 2025 and relocated to the Tral facility in a planned operation carried out by the Department of Wildlife Protection.

Talking to Greater Kashmir, Wildlife Warden for Central Kashmir, Parvaiz Ahmad said, “The ex-situ Hangul conservation project was restarted in 2023 with the introduction of two female Hanguls. Three more females were habituated in 2024. With the arrival of a male, the centre is now ready to begin breeding.”

Ahmad said the relocation was completed within an hour using camera traps, salt licks, nets, stretchers, and an ambulance, with veterinary supervision to ensure the animal’s safety.

The 2.5-hectare Hangul Breeding and Conservation Centre was developed to address low fawn survival, a key factor behind the species’ decline due to predation and human disturbance in the wild.

Wildlife Warden for Pulwama-Shopian, Suhail Ahmad Wagay, said, “After remaining in a preparatory phase since 2023, the facility is now fully operational with a balanced male-to-female ratio.”

Wagay said the programme aims to improve fawn survival and increase recruitment into the wild population.

Under the plan, fawns will be raised in a controlled environment until they reach the sub-adult stage, after which they will be released.

The facility is secured with chain-link and solar-powered fencing, controlled entry gates and surveillance systems to prevent access by predators such as leopards and feral dogs.

Security was strengthened after a previous attempt failed in 2011, when a Hangul was killed in a leopard attack, leading to the suspension of the project.

The animals are provided a regulated diet, and their behaviour, feeding and breeding activity are monitored through CCTV cameras.

Health checks, including regular deworming, are conducted by a veterinary-led team.

The Hangul, the state animal of Jammu and Kashmir, is a Central Asian red deer species found mainly in Dachigam National Park near Srinagar.

Once numbering between 3000 and 5000 in the early 1900s, the population declined sharply due to habitat loss, poaching, and disturbance.

A 2008 census recorded just 127 Hanguls.

Recent conservation efforts have led to a gradual recovery, with numbers rising from 261 in 2021 to 289 in 2023.

The latest census in 2025 recorded 323 animals.

Recognised as a distinct species in 2017, the Hangul is listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Officials said conservation efforts now focus on habitat protection, scientific management, and controlled breeding to stabilise and increase the population.

He issued these directions during his inspection visit to NHPC’s Salal power project.

Khattar is on a two-day visit to review the NHPC hydroelectric projects in the Union Territory of J&K.

Earlier, Khattar, accompanied by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, Government of India, arrived in Jammu on Sunday on a 2-day inspection visit.

The two-day visit includes inspections of projects located in Reasi, Ramban and Kishtwar districts.

On day one of his visit, Khattar visited Salal, Sawalkot and Ratle power projects. Immediately after his arrival, Bhupendra Gupta, CMD, NHPC, briefed the Union Power Minister on the progress of various NHPC hydroelectric projects located in Jammu and Kashmir.

During his visit to NHPC’s Salal power project, he was apprised of the ongoing works.

Salal Power Station, located on the Chenab river in Reasi district, is undertaking sediment removal works following the termination of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), aimed at removing accumulated silt and maximising optimal utilisation of water resources.

During the visit to the Salal power station, the Minister also undertook a plantation drive within the power station premises, underscoring the government’s commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable development.

Khattar also held discussions with the local administration and senior officials of various concerned departments to ensure coordinated efforts for the timely execution of works.

Enroute to Kishtwar, Manohar Lal conducted an aerial inspection of the Sawalkot hydroelectric project of 1856 MW.

Upon arrival in Kishtwar, he visited the Ratle hydroelectric project, where he laid the foundation stone for the dam concreting works and encouraged the project team to complete the works in an effective and time-bound manner.

“For us (Centre), the national interests reign supreme. We work to serve the interests of the country only. We will do everything that is in India’s interest, notwithstanding objections…,” Khattar said, while responding to media queries about Pakistan’s objections to (designs and other aspects of) Dulhasti and other power projects in Jammu and Kashmir, on Sunday, January 4, 2026.

The Union Power Minister is on a two-day visit to J&K for inspection of Salal, Sawalkote and other power projects in Reasi, Kishtwar and Ramban districts.

Faced with a query about the raging controversy over the Ratle project in Kishtwar district, that the members of families and relatives of active terrorists were working there, Khattar stated that the deserving people should be given employment (in a power project) and the undesirable and subversive elements should not be employed there.

“Since generally such people are employed by the local contractors. Therefore, the directions will be given that only the constructive and good people should be given jobs and not those who create obstacles in the completion of works,” Khattar said.

In response to a contention that some of those who were in the centre of controversy and were tagged as Over Ground Workers (OGWs), also figured in the photographs with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, the Union Power Minister stated, “Cognisance of it will be taken so far nothing of this nature has come to our knowledge.”

Will an NIA probe be ordered into the issue?

Khattar’s answer to this query was, “No, this does not happen. These are general complaints of a local nature. They will be sorted out at the local level. This is not a very big issue.”

On the first day of his two-day inspection visit, Khattar visited Salal, Sawalkote and Ratle power projects.

In Reasi district, Khattar also briefly addressed an event organised by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a temple at Mahadev Mohalla.

Addressing the gathering, he said that Jammu and Kashmir underwent a massive transformation after the abrogation of Article 370 and was marching forward on the development trajectory with an amazing pace.

“Prior to the abrogation of Article 370, J&K was caught in the vortex of conundrums of varied hues. But post-abrogation, a wave of Hindutva is sweeping here also. Hindutva is not in conflict with those who have different religious connotations and follow different sacraments to reach out to the Almighty. Hindutva treats all those individuals (irrespective of their religious affiliations) alike, who are patriots and work with the “nation first” approach,” the Union Power Minister said.

He reiterated that the focus was on development with a determined resolve.

“We don’t want anyone to distract us, and if someone does with ill intentions, our resolve is clear – We will not spare those elements,” Khattar said.

The outcome of the investigations essentially formed the basis for the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to issue a sweeping directive on November 28 last year, mandating that app-based communication services like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal must be continuously linked to an active, physical SIM card within the device.

The officials said the probe into the terror module and the blast led to a web of “ghost” SIM cards being used by the arrested doctors, including Muzammil Ganaie, Adeel Rather, and others, as part of a tactical “dual-phone” protocol to evade security agencies.

Each accused, including Dr Umar-un-Nabi, who was killed while driving the explosives-laden vehicle near the Red Fort, carried two to three mobile handsets, they said.

The accused carried one “clean” phone registered in their own names for routine personal and professional use to avoid suspicion, and one was the “terror phone” used exclusively for WhatsApp and Telegram communication with their handlers in Pakistan (identified by codenames ‘Ukasa’, ‘Faizan’, and ‘Hashmi’).

The SIM cards for these secondary devices were issued in the names of unsuspecting civilians whose Aadhaar details were misused, the officials said.

Jammu and Kashmir Police further unearthed a separate racket where SIMs were issued using fake Aadhaar cards, they said.

According to the officials, the security agencies noted a disturbing trend where these compromised SIMs remained active on messaging platforms across the border in PoK or Pakistan.

By exploiting features that allow messaging apps to run without a physical SIM in the device, the handlers were able to direct the module to learn IED assembly via YouTube and plot “hinterland” attacks, despite the recruits initially wanting to join conflict zones in Syria or Afghanistan.

To plug these security gaps, the Centre has invoked the Telecommunications Act, 2023, and Telecom Cyber Security Rules to “safeguard the integrity of the telecom ecosystem”, which includes a rule that, within 90 days, all Telecommunication Identifier User Entities (TIUEs) must ensure their apps function only if an active SIM is installed in the device.

The order further directs the telecom operators to automatically log out users from apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal in case of the absence of an active SIM, the officials said, adding that all service providers, including Snapchat, Sharechat, and Jiochat must submit compliance reports to the DoT.

This feature of using apps without a SIM is posing a challenge to telecom cyber security as it is being misused from outside the country to commit cyber frauds and terror activities, the DoT statement had said while explaining the reasoning behind the move.

The directive is being fast-tracked in the J&K telecom circle.

While officials admit it will take time to deactivate all expired or fraudulent SIMs, the move is seen as a critical blow to the digital infrastructure used by terror networks to radicalise and manage operatives.

Failure to comply with these norms will attract stringent action under the Telecom Cyber Security Rules and other applicable laws, the officials said.

The terror module involving doctors began to unravel on the intervening night of October 18-19, 2025, when posters of the banned Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) surfaced on walls just outside Srinagar city.

The posters warned of attacks on the Police and security forces in the Valley.

Treating it as a serious matter, Senior Superintendent of Police, Srinagar, G V Sundeep Chakravarthy formed several teams to conduct an in-depth investigation into the case.

After piecing together the statements of the arrested accused, the probe led the Srinagar police to Al Falah University in Haryana’s Faridabad, where two doctors – Ganaie, a resident of Koil in south Kashmir’s Pulwama and Shaheen Sayeed from Lucknow – were arrested.

A huge quantity of arms and ammunition, including 2900 kg of ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur, was also seized.

The car explosion case near the Red Fort claimed 15 lives and is being investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

The fresh snowfall led to the accumulation of a fresh layer of about 1-2 inches of snow.

Sonamarg has been receiving intermittent snowfall since last week, turning the meadow into a winter wonderland.

The fresh snowfall on Sunday brought cheers to hundreds of tourists visiting the health resort.

Tourists, including children, were seen enjoying the snowfall near Sonamarg.

“We are really enjoying the snowfall, we feel lucky that we witnessed it,” said a tourist from Mumbai.

“We were here for our family trip, and this snow has brought so much joy to us,” said another tourist from Bangalore.

Meanwhile, hoteliers and people associated with tourism at Sonamarg are expecting good business after the snowfall.

“Tourists always love snow, and we expect that number of tourists will increase in the coming days after the snow, which will have a good impact on our business,” said a hotelier.

The vehicles will only be allowed to move towards the road for four hours in the afternoon.

The decision to curtail the day-long movement of vehicles has been taken in view of slippery conditions during morning and evening hours.

The Mughal Road has remained closed since Thursday due to the accumulation of snow amid bad weather conditions.

Officials said that on Sunday morning, the road was restored for the movement of vehicles and traffic from both sides was allowed.

In a fresh notification, the Traffic Police informed that normal movement of vehicles on Monday would be subject to fair weather and good road condition and also after getting a green signal from the road maintenance agency, GREF.

Traffic Police also informed that the vehicles would be allowed to move over the Mughal Road only for a time slot of four hours.

“These vehicles shall be allowed from Chandimarh, Baffliaz, towards Shopian and Herpora, Shopian, towards Poonch between 10:30 am to 2:30 pm,” Traffic Police officials said.

No vehicle will be allowed after the cut-off time, the Traffic Police statement said.
