New Delhi, May 3 -- Scaling up punitive measures, India clamped an immediate ban on the direct and indirect import of all goods from Pakistan 11 days after the terrorist attack in J&K's Pahalgam that killed 27 people, mostly tourists.
"Direct or indirect import or transit of all goods originating in or exported from Pakistan, whether or not freely importable or otherwise permitted shall be prohibited with immediate effect until further orders," said a notification issued on May 2 by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry's Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT).
The DGFT stated that any exception to the prohibition would require approval from the government.
