Srinagar: Amid Covid-19 scare, majority of the Newspaper distributors have decided not to distribute Newspapers from tomorrow.

Main distributors including Fayaz Trali, Mudasir Ahmed and Irshad Ahmed with whom over 200 hawkers are associated will not distribute the newspapers from tomorrow.
Irshad Ahmed, one among the three distributors told Kashmir News Trust that except Greater Kashmir, Srinagar Times and Daily Aftab, they distribute all the newspapers that hit the stands. “We won’t distribute the newspapers from tomorrow as our hawkers are scared of touching the newspapers and roaming from place to place,” he said.
