Senior Political Assistant to Chief Minister Mohammad Pervez Malik has said that infrastructure upgradation is one the priorities of Punjab government as good infrastructure is necessary to boost the economic and trade activities. Pervez Malik was speaking at a dinner hosted in his honour by the All Pakistan Anjuman-e-Tajran.
He said the spirit shown by the business community for the help of the affectees of Malakand Division has no match but these affectees need more help so the businessmen should contribute maximum in the relief fund of Punjab Chief Minister.
He said Punjab government is putting in all its energies to upgrade the road network as it ensures the prompt transportation of goods and plays important role to boost the economic activities. He said that credit of establishing best road network in the province goes to Chief Minister Punjab Mian Mohammad Shahbaz Sharif, who had given extraordinary attention towards it.
Furthermore, Mohammad Pervez Malik said business community has continued its golden traditions and played an appreciable role once again during difficult time. He said help extended by the businessmen provided much relief to the refugees but a lot of work has to do. He urged upon the business community to extend maximum donations and make stronger the hands of Chief Minister Punjab who was keenly interested to provide maximum to affectees.
Speaking on the occasion, President Anjuman-e-Tajran Auto Parts Mian Waqar Ahmad said that business community hails the ardour of Mian Mohammad Shahbaz Sharif and assures best co-operation to the Punjab government for this noble cause. He said business community was already active for the help of their affected brothers and sisters.
He said industrialists and traders would collect maximum donations, as they were quite aware with their national obligations. Mian Waqar Ahmad said Punjab government should give special attention towards the widening of roads as annually one-lac vehicles are being added in the existing near 15 lacs vehicles running on the roads of Lahore.
He said Multan road should be constructed on priority basis as sad state of this important road has caused a number of accidents. Meanwhile, all participants while criticising the massive load-shedding said that industry was bound to collapse if the situation remains the same so there was a need to ensure uninterrupted supply of the electricity to the industry.
