LAHORE: Kattar Bund Road Industrial Association has sought the help of the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry to get the issues of Kattar Bund Road Industrial areas resolved at the earliest.
A 40-member delegation led by Senior Vice-President of the Kattar Bund Road Industrial Association called on the LCCI Vice-President Syed Mahmood Ghaznavi. The delegation informed the LCCI Vice-President and lack of infrastructure in this important industrial area was hitting the industrial activities hard.
“It seemed that the Katar Bund Road Industrial area does belong to the Punjab government as despite being at a few kilometres away from Thokar Niaz Baig, it has completely broken roads and no sewerage system and lack of facilities that always discourage foreign and local buyers,” the delegation members said.
Vice-President Katar Bund Road Industrial Association Mian Nawaz informed the LCCI Vice-President that the Katar Bund Industrial Area was established four decades back and as many as 150 small and medium industrial units are operating in this area today. They complained that both the provincial and the district governments had neglected the area and no development work, including the maintenance of infrastructure, was carried out in past one decade.
The LCCI Vice-President Syed Mahmood Ghaznavi said that government should focus on improving the infrastructure and law and order situation in this industrial area and dacoities and theft are order of the day.
He said that the area industrialists appreciate Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for giving a special focus on infrastructure development in the province, but at the same time also want of him to direct the concerned officers to take stakeholders into confidence.
