Pak traders blame 'harassment' for huge losses during IITF | Pakistani traders have accused Indian authorities of
harassing them leading to them suffering huge losses in the just concluded India International Trade Fair at New Delhi. They blamed the Indian intelligence agencies
and customs authorities of deliberately creating hurdles for Pakistani traders,
which affected their business to a great extent. "The Indian authorities had made
arrangements for clearance of goods at Pragati Maidan after shipment, but the
authorities had no electronic devices to inspect marble products, therefore each
piece was inspected manually, causing the maximum possible delay in their clearance
for exhibition," said Mazhar Mufti, representative of the Federation of Pakistan
Chambers of Commerce and Industry. Mufti said Pakistani traders were not provided
proper storage for their goods, and were issued only a limited number of gate
passes. He said Pakistani food products, handicrafts and marble products attracted
huge crowds during the trade fair, but even the Indians were disappointed as they
were not able to buy those things due to non-availability. "The treatment meted
out to Pakistani traders was unfortunate and they would leave Indian soil with
great disappointment," The Daily Times quoted Mufti, as saying. |
