Pulwama in South Kashmir turning into pencil slate production hub

Pulwama, which has been in the news for being the terror hotbed in Kashmir, might soon be known as the pencil slate district of India.

Pulwama is making pencils of soft slate and now 90 per cent of the raw material supply will be sourced from 17 units set up in the district.

All pencil making units of major companies in the country are procuring their slates from Pulwama.
