Khawaja Younas said that Ministry of Science and Technology would repay Rs 200,000 to Rs 400,000 as compensation.
They can submit their claims through the association. He said that some member of APBUMA have submitted their claims which were referred to the ministry for payment and other should submit their claims as early as possible after getting certification which was necessary for international trade.
