Pulwama aftermath: Mumbai shop to pay Rs 2 lakh import duty for selling Pakistani newspapers, journals

As the relation between India and Pakistan takes time to return on track, a bookshop owner Mohammed Asif has been told to pay Rs 2 lakh as import duty for the newspapers and journals being imported from Pakistan.

Asif, who is the owner of Naaz Book Depot situated on the Mohammed Ali Road in South Mumbai, has been working there since his childhood but such a situation has arisen for the first time in his career.

The USP of the shop remained that it used to store Pakistani newspapers and journals with both English and Urdu language but the sole USP had come under threat after the oder of the government of India, wherein the administration had hiked import duty on Pakistani goods to 200%.
