An orchard owner in Brah Ranipora village in Islamabad district states that an unknown individual sprayed a toxic substance across his apple orchard overnight, burning leaves and destroying his ready crop just ahead of harvest. Ghulam Hassan Sheikh states the losses amount to lakhs of rupees and has called for a thorough investigation and accountability for those responsible. No arrests have been made. The Indian regime's administration has issued no official statement.

Local residents state this type of incident has been carried out by individuals linked to the Indian Army and BJP-RSS affiliated elements in the past, with similar attacks on Kashmiri orchards documented across South Kashmir. Kashmir Conflict cannot independently verify the perpetrators of this specific attack, but states that the broader pattern it sits within is documented. Kashmiri orchards have been destroyed by felling, poisoning, and land seizure across Indian-controlled Kashmir in a sustained assault on the agricultural livelihoods that form the economic backbone of rural Kashmiri communities. Apple orchards represent generational investment and generational identity for Kashmiri farming families. Their systematic destruction, by whatever means, serves the same structural purpose: stripping Kashmiris of the economic foundation that makes independent life on their own land viable.
