SRINAGAR: Handicrafts and Handloom Department, Kashmir today warned showroom owners dealing with hand-made craft products to desist from selling machine-made items in the garb of genuine handmade products, failing which strict action under the ambit of Tourist Trade and Quality Control Acts shall be initiated.
In a press statement issued here today, a spokesperson from the Handicrafts and Handloom Department, stated that several complaints have been received by the department wherein machine-made Turkish carpets have been sold to tourists and other buyers in the name of Kashmir hand-knotted carpets, thus bringing a bad name to the rich heritage of Kashmir. “Acting swiftly, several showrooms are being inspected and unlabelled machine-made products confiscated,” he said.
The spokesman further stated that the Central Inspection Squad from the Quality Control wing of the Department has been directed to intensify inspections of various showrooms in Srinagar City Centre and en route health resorts of Gulmarg and Pahalgam, besides other locations to crackdown on traders engaged in sale of counterfeit products, branded as hand-made Kashmir Art.
In order to promote sale of exquisite hand-made products, the spokesperson urged the stakeholders to approach the Handicrafts & Handloom Department for GI tagging, testing and certification of their products at CDI & IICT, reaching out to the customer satisfaction and safeguarding rich heritage of Kashmir.
“The department has worked out a plan to significantly increase the capacity of testing and certification of hand-made products especially at Pashmina Testing and Quality Certification Centre at CDI,” he said, adding that various IEC campaigns are currently running at local as well as national level to motivate the customers to insist upon buying labelled hand-made products.

  2. Hello Ziraattimes

    I just found your site, quick question…

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – Ziraattimes – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across Ziraattimes, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… research indicates that 7 out of 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to raise their hand to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, call me now.

    You can –

    Web Visitors Into Leads is a software widget that works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address, and Phone Number. It notifies you IMMEDIATELY – so that you can speak to that lead while they’re actively looking over your site.

    Goto https://boltleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Web Visitors Into Leads now to see precisely how it works.

    Time is money when it comes to connecting with leads – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later is huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.

    Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just how you are doing? notes to build a relationship.

    Wouldn’t that be cool?
