Caretaker Provincial Minister of Industry and Commerce SM Tanveer chaired a meeting to review progress on Business Facilitation Centre (BFC) here at TEVTA Secretariat on Saturday.
He said that BFC would be established on the ground floor of the Head Office of Punjab Small Industries Corporation (PSIC) in the Al-Falah building, The Mall road, and the Punjab chief minister would inaugurate it the next month. He said that the focal persons for the departments concerned had been appointed at the Centre, asserting that now the investors would get respective NOCs (No Objection Certificate) and other facilities under one roof for setting up new factories. He said the Centre was a milestone in bringing new investment in the province.
The minister said that an effective system for monitoring the BFC’s performance has been evolved, and Operational Review Committee and Steering Committee would monitor its performance. The committee, headed by Provincial Secretary Industries and Commerce Department, would have the representation of chambers of commerce and industry, and the relevant departments. SM Tanveer directed the authorities concerned to prepare the standard operating procedures (SOPs) regarding the working of business facilitation.—APP
