This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 27 October 2016.
Initially, Pakistani traders had shown interest in setting up 16 stalls at the fair along with several traders from Nepal, Bangladesh and Thailand. The interaction had started about three months ago and by early September, the Pakistani traders had confirmed their participation. Thereafter, official process involving Pakistan and Indian high commissions had started and this was also concluded.
But, after the Uri attack, in which 19 soldiers were killed, the relations between India and Pakistan got strained and the Pakistani businessmen kept on hold their participation. It seems the same 15 traders have already cancelled their participation in an international trade fair in Hyderabad from October 7.
