They said that judicious decision of CM would infuse confidence among traders of 11 districts— Dera Ghazi Khan, Sahiwal, Khanewal, Okara, Jhang, Sheikhupura, Sargodha, Jhelum, Chiniott, Attock and Vehari.
They said that business-friendly policies of PTI government led by Prime Minister Imran Khan started yielding positive impact on the national economy which they added would stimulate the process of industrialization across the country.
The businessmen expressed their gratitude to the top leadership of United Business Group for taking up this important issue with the CM. They hoped that UBG Chairman Iftikhar Ali Malik would manage to get the CM’s commitment materialized as early as possible.
Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Vice President and a UBG leader Chaudhry Zahid Iqbal Arain along with his younger brother MNA Chaudhry Tahir Iqbal Arain had a very fruitful meeting with the CM in this connection. It was brought into the notice of Chief Minister that chambers of commerce and Industry (CCIs) in 11 districts of Punjab did not have their own office buildings. Neither these CCIs have land to construct their offices nor have resources to buy land from open markets.
