Pakistan’s local silk units hit hard due to unabated import of Indian art silk through United Arab Emirates (UAE). Around seventy percent of the local units have been closed, leading to unemployment of thousands of labour, said President Pakistan Businessmen and Intellectuals Forum (PBIF) Mian Zahid Hussain on Monday.
Mian Zahid Hussain said that art silk cannot be imported from India as it has been included in the negative list but authorities have taken little interest in stopping India exports through UAE which has almost killed their silk sector.
