Rs 90 million sanctioned for Sialkot Tanneries Zone

The Punjab government has finally sanctioned a special grant of Rupees 90 million for the early construction of direly-needed Sialkot Tanneries Zone near Sambrial-Daska, in collaboration with business community, here.
This was disclosed by President Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) Tahir Majeed Kapur while talking to the newsmen here on Wednesday.
He said the approval was given by the provincial government in a special meeting held at Lahore and presided over by the Chairman Planning and Development Lahore.
The SCCI President said the early construction of the most-delayed Sialkot Tanneries Zone would be helpful in shifting all the tanneries (more than 264) in the Zone, which were scattered in the city and its outskirts, besides, curbing the menace of serious hazards to human, animal and marine life.
