REPAIR OF ROADS: Commissioner Momin Agha has stressed the need for immediate repair of dilapidated roads, especially in industrial areas, to ensure safe and speedy movement of import and export consignments.
During his visit to the Faisalabad Garments City near Khurrianwala, he underlined the importance of import and export business in the national economy and said that the road connectivity was of prime importance for speedy movement of import and export consignments.
Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Ch Muhammad Nawaz said that approximately 2km portion of Khurrianwala-Chak-Jhumra Bypass near Faisalabad Garment City was in bad shape for the last many years. The uneven road and pits were forcing the truck drivers to use an alternate city road, which was complicating traffic problems in the urban areas. He said that there were several industrial units on Jaranwala-Khurrianwala Bypass. Due to the movement of heavy traffic, the bypass was also facing deterioration, he added. The FCCI president said that a road linking Khurrianwala with Sahianwala via a mill was also in a shambles and waiting for repair for the last 12 years. He said that the area was actually export oriented and needed safe, speedy and reliable roads for speedy transportation of import and export consignments. He said that the foreign buyers regularly visited the area and the road had become a stigma on the face of Faisalabad. Faisalabad Garments City chairman Rehan Bharara and others were also present.
