New Delhi, Apr 26 (PTI) A section of local traders on Saturday announced the launch of a poster campaign across more than 100 markets to urge businessmen to sever all trade ties with Pakistan due to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.

Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) chairman Brijesh Goyal said that the body is appealing to all 700 trader associations and 56 industrial area associations across Delhi to completely end imports and exports involving Pakistan.

India exports cotton, chemicals, food products, vegetables, fruits, plastic goods, coffee, tea, spices, dyes, oilseeds, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, medicines, textiles, and motor parts to Pakistan, said Garg.

In return, India imports fruits, salt, woollen goods, chemicals, cotton, and textiles from Pakistan, he added.

CTI also emphasised the need for domestic traders to explore alternatives in other countries and to boost local production in India.
