"Tariffs will create a situation of trade war between the two countries," FESTA Chairman Paramjit Singh Pamma said. They appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give maximum relief to traders in GST and ensure low-interest loans so that domestic products can remain competitive. The Gandhi Nagar Market Association described the disruption as temporary.
