Mohsin Sheikhani, Chairman of Association of Builders and Developers, has applauded lifting of the four-year ban on issuance of No-Objection Certificate for any kind of construction and development activities in Gwadar with immediate effect.

In a statement, Chairman ABAD said lifting of the ban would not only create millions of jobs for the people of Gwadar but it would also have positive effects on Balochistan and Pakistan's economy.

He recalled that Gwadar Development Authority (GDA), in 2016, had imposed the ban initially for a period of six months on the grounds that it was in the process of revising the Gwadar master plan as a "Smart Port City Master Plan" to meet the needs of a modern port city. Mohsin Sheikhani lauded the efforts of Chief Minister of Balochistan Jam Kamal Khan and Director-General of gda Shahzeb Khan Kakar in completing the Gawadar master plan. The Chairman said notification of lifting of ban on all kind of NOCs for housing, commercial, industrial, warehouses and all types of construction and industrial activities in the jurisdiction of GDA would make Gwadar a hub of trade, construction and all types of businesses.-PR
