Delhi-based Karmic Overseas, a midsized trader that imports about 50,000t of cement every month through the Wagah border, has already cancelled its earlier orders, a move that is likely to be followed by other cement dealers around north India, said dealers.
Siddharth Mayar, director of Karmic Overseas Pvt Ltd said: "We have stopped all imports from Wagah border seeing the security threat but will continue to look at other options."
