KARACHI:Provincial Minister for Commerce and Trade and Cooperative Societies Jam Ikram Ullah Dharejo has said that Sindh government, under the vision of Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, is deeply interested to resolve the issues of industrial zones across the province including water, gas, electricity supplies and infrastructure as well.

This he said while talking to various delegations in his office here on Wednesday. He said: “No doubt, industrial zones have been facing different problems, but we are committed to look into the matter on priority basis. While criticizing the federal government’s policies regarding promotion of industry, he said that it had destroyed industry in the country, especially in Sindh.

Dharejo said that a high level meeting with industrialists, government departments and with all other stakeholders along with office-bearers of industrial zones would be convened soon to solve their issues and to communicate their issues to the federal government as well.

The minister admitted that without making progress in commerce and trade, they would not be able to bring prosperity to common man. He said that they had to expand industries to produce more employments to accommodate jobless youth.
