Provincial Industries and Trade Minister Aslam Iqbal has said that PTI government is providing ease in doing business along with provision of all possible facilities to the industrialists.
Trade Minister Aslam Iqbal and Special Assistant to Prime Minister for Youth Affairs Usman Dar met with a GCCI delegation at Civil Secretariat. Provincial Minister Ch Muhammad Akhlaque, Industries and Trade Secretary Zafar Iqbal, PSIC MD Mudassir Malik, GCCI President Mian Umer Saleem and industrialists were also present on this occasion. Matters pertaining to development affairs of the small industrial estates of district Gujranwala and other affairs came under discussion during the meeting. GCCI President and industrialists apprised them about the problems pertaining to non-construction charges, transfer fee, exit policy and other issues.
Aslam Iqbal disclosed that we would provide all sorts of facilities to the industrialists for establishing industrial estates.
The minister maintained that those who acquired plots only for doing business will not be given any sort of exemption in the charges. He regretfully remarked that real estate business was thriving in the past in the industrial estates but we would not allow this practice to continue.
The minister emphasized that we would ensure 100 per cent colonization of the industrial estates and added that we would also completely empower board of management of such industrial estates.
He underscored that if the board management is empowered then they would be able to resolve their problems on their own.
He highlighted that state-of-the-art industrial estates will be established on Lahore-Sialkot Motorway and stressed that due problems of the industrialists are being resolved on preferential basis. The minister directed the PISC MD to formulate such a policy which would provide benefit to the industrialists in order to set up industrial units.
SAPM Usman Dar remarked that employment opportunities will be generated with the establishment of industries. He appreciated that Aslam Iqbal is making bold decisions for resolving problems of the industrialists besides ensuring industrial progress. Usman Dar commended that with the presence of vigorous Provincial Industries and Trade Minister Aslam Iqbal, the industrialists should not get worried over resolution of their due problems.
