LAHORE: Hundreds of Multan businessmen are clearing their consignments from Lahore and Peshawar dry ports which is a sheer injustice to the Multan Dry Port.
This was stated by Chief Collector Customs (Central) Lahore Rozi Khan Burki addressing a ceremony organized at the Multan Dry Port. He said employment opportunities at the dry port are directly proportional to business activities there. He urged the businessmen to register their complaints to officials concerned in case of any hurdles in clearing of their consignments.
He however wished that if the dry port is linked with Railway line, its productivity would be enhanced up to a remarkable extent.
He hailed the performance of Customs officials of the city for reinventing modern parameters where customers can have progress reports on import and export consignments on daily basis. In addition, importers and exporters can file online duty and tax returns through the internet.
Burki said Multan dry port would soon be emerged as one of the biggest dry ports in the country. Chairman Multan dry port Khawaja Mohammad Yunis speaking on the occasion called for ‘On site clearance’ to heavy imports of industrial units operating in Mian Channu, Basti Malook, and Qadir Pur Rawn.
