FAISALABAD: Divisional Commissioner Raja Jahangir Anwar stated that all government departments in Faisalabad will adopt industry- and business-friendly strategies to foster an environment conducive to trade and investment. He emphasized that officials creating unnecessary obstacles for the business community would not be tolerated.
Speaking at a meeting with the business community at the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI), he announced that a notification would be issued immediately to appoint an Additional Commissioner as the focal person for direct coordination with the chamber to resolve business-related issues.
He advised traders not to succumb to pressure or make payments if any official demands undue money. Instead, they should approach the designated focal person, who would halt any unwarranted departmental actions and ensure relief through proper channels.
Raja Jahangir Anwar underscored his administration’s commitment to easing the process of doing business and highlighted the launch of the eBis platform, which has significantly streamlined the licensing process for new businesses. He revealed that 66 types of unnecessary licenses had been abolished, and applications can now be submitted electronically. Three essential licenses would also be issued within 24 hours under the direct supervision of the Deputy Commissioner.
The Business Facilitation Centre has already issued over 12,000 licenses, marking a milestone in administrative reform, he added.
