NESPAK has completed master plan and infrastructure designing of the Quaid-e-Azam Apparel Park (QAAP) comprising 1,523 acres of land near Sheikhupura. Chairman of Punjab Industrial Estates Development and Management Company (PIEDMC) S M Tanveer said that construction of boundary wall of the park has been started while development work is likely to be commenced very soon.
The federal government has approved a dedicated interchange for QAAP and the process of its designing is in progress by National Highways Authority, he added. He said a timely completion of the project will also ensure maximum benefits of the GSP Plus facility from the EU and it would give boost to the country's economic growth and ultimately alleviate poverty and terrorism form the region. He hoped that the project would create thousands of jobs and enable the value added textile industry to contribute more to the exports to strengthen the economy.
