This was revealed by the federal textile advisor, Mr Mirza Ikhtiar Baig after the Indian Commerce Ministry informed him that the Indian government had begun issuing licenses.
He also informed that he was pursuing with embassies of both the countries to ensure the cotton landed in Pakistan well before the new cotton starts arriving in the markets to ease the supply situation.
