Pakistan Yarn Merchants Association has demanded imposition of 15 per cent regulatory duty on imports of cotton yarn from India. PYMA Zonal Chairman Muhammad Akram Pasha and Zonal Vice Chairman Adnan Zahid stated that a large number of textile industries and value-added chain are connected with the spinning sectors and yarn market. Therefore, if the imported Indian cotton yarn is allowed to enter into Pakistani market then not only the textile sector but also the value-added chain would be affected and millions of workers and allied supply chain would be unemployed.
