How did the partition of the country in 1947 affect the jute industry?

After the fall of British Empire in India during the year 1947, most of the Jute Barons had begun to evacuate India, leaving behind the industrial setup of the Jute Industry. Most of the jute mills that were present in India had been taken over by the Marwaris businessmen. In East Pakistan after the partition that took place in 1947 lacked a Jute Industry but still had the finest stock of Jute fibre.
Partition of the country in 1947 had affected the jute industry since the jute growing areas were present in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) while the jute mills were in India. India has to import raw jute from Bangladesh in order to run the jute mills.
