Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif chaired a meeting to review facilities and issues faced by Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Punjab, here on Monday.
The CM said, we want to set up an industrial estate on a plug and play model. She added, they will fix issues of the past by providing maximum facilities to the industry. The chief minister expressed indignation at the failure of institutions concerned to promote industry in the province, and directed to change heads and boards of the industrial estates for their poor performance.
