The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has assured the All Pakistan Paper Merchants Association (APPMA) that it would take up the issue of paper prices with the authorities concerned.
The assurance was held out by LCCI President Mohammad Ali Mian to a delegation of APPMA headed by its Vice Chairman Mohammad Ajmal and comprising Samiullah Butt, Malik Khalid Javed, President Anjuman-e-Tajiran Urdu Bazaar Khalid Pervaiz and member chamber's executive committee Khamis Saeed Butt here on Monday.
Mian said that the paper traders played vital role in promotion of education, adding that chamber was trying to solve the business community's problems. APPMA delegation felicitated Ali Mian for becoming LCCI president and hoped that he would do his best to solve the problem of business community.
The delegation cautioned that if paper prices continued to shoot up then it would spoil government's efforts to raise literacy rate in the country. The delegation also discussed the infrastructure-related problems being faced by Urdu Bazaar traders with the chamber's president.
