LAHORE: A delegation of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) held a meeting with Punjab Governor Ch Muhammad Sarwar to apprise him about the issues of the business community.
FPCCI Regional Chairman Dr Muhammad Arshad led the delegation comprising Vice President Juma Khan, Chaghi Chamber president Mir Akbar Mangal, Quetta Chamber's former president Dr Irshad and other office-bearers.
The Governor assured the FPCCI delegation of resolution of their issues and said the government was working on a comprehensive plan to address grievances of business community. He said the government was also very much concerned about the trouble faced by the business community due to hike in the cost of doing business.
The government is engaged with the business community on all trade-related matters through consultation, he added. He appreciated the FPCCI for helping the unprivileged people of society during the difficult time created by the lockdown imposed to contain the spread of coronavirus.
The Governor said the government had announced the biggest relief package in the history of the country which would help the poor segment of the society in this difficult time. He said the government had announced relaxation for the construction industry which would boost the economy.
Dr Arshad while speaking on the occasion asked the government to extend permission to business community to run their businesses 24/7 before Eid ul Azha, as the restriction of timing and days also create hurdles in implementation of the government SOPs in their true spirit.
