The Speaker of NWFP Assembly, Karamat Ullah Khan Chagarmatti has said that the despite huge resources of natural stone like marble and granite; unfortunately the country is not benefiting properly from these resources due to lack of modern quarrying and processing practices.
He expressed these views during a presentation given by Pakistan Stone Development Company (Pasdec) at their Head Office in Islamabad. He said that the government was fully aware about the importance of marble and granite sector and President Asif All Zardari is also committed to develop this sector on revolutionary basis as it has great potential.
"We could use the sector to strengthen our national economy through its exports." Chagarmatti added. He appreciated the efforts of Federal Minister for Industries and Production, Mian Manzoor Ahmad Watto and Pasdec team for developing modern quarrying to enhance the marble and granite production.-PR
