According to TDAP sources, passports of 600 traders belonging to 144 different companies were sent to Indian High Commission with delay due to which visa to many exhibitors haven’t issued yet.
On the other hand, the material to be displayed in the exhibition of those traders has already reached to India. This may caused the loss of millions of rupees.
