Pakistani Brand's (murre, it is not allowed to export) sales are all time high, another reason to want Kashmir

Alcohol consumption is mostly high only in the Jammu region, where the drinking culture is strong and very similar to the punjabis. Indeed Dogras love their booze. In Kashmir, they don't drink much.

Sorry, the army brass would love to lay their hands on this treasure trove. Probably that's why they've been trying their darnedest to capture J&K.

Cheers!
