India Gets Tough To Teach Pakistan A Lesson, These Items May Become Expensive If Trade Ends

New Delhi: India is now taking strong action to teach Pakistan a lesson after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. India may break all kinds of relations with Pakistan. This has already started. The main trade routes between the two countries—Attari and Wagah borders— are now closed.

Some items may become expensive in India if trade with Pakistan stops completely. Let’s look at what things could become costly:

Dry Fruits

India imports a lot of dry fruits from Pakistan. If business stops, dry fruits like almonds, pistachios, and apricots may become costlier. But India also buys these from other countries, so the impact may be less.

Rock Salt (Sendha Namak)

India buys rock salt only from Pakistan. This salt is mostly used during fasting and religious festivals. If trade stops, this salt may become expensive in India.

Optical Lenses

These are used in eyeglasses. India imports many of them from Pakistan. If trade is cut off, their prices may go up for some time.

Other Imported Goods

India also imports cement, stones, lime, cotton, steel, organic chemicals, metal compounds, and leather items from Pakistan.

Pakistan Will Suffer More

The end of trade will hurt Pakistan more than India. Pakistan already has a weak economy. India exports many things to Pakistan like organic chemicals, medicines, plastic products, cotton, fruits, vegetables, tea, coffee, spices, sugar, oilseeds, dairy items, and animal feed.
