He expressed the hope that the police post would be established within the coming week, helping improve the law and order situation and strengthen the protection of industrialists in the area.
Nadeem Ahmed Siddiqui further stated that issues relating to inadequate infrastructure and the shortage of basic facilities in the industrial zone would be taken up with the district administration to seek practical solutions in coordination with the relevant institutions.
He emphasized that maintaining law and order and providing better roads and essential facilities in industrial areas were vital not only for uninterrupted industrial operations but also for creating employment opportunities and promoting the local economy.
He reaffirmed that the Chamber would continue to raise industrialists’ concerns with the relevant authorities and maintain effective coordination to help resolve their problems.
The dinner reception was attended by members of the HCSTSI Executive Committee and senior members; Jeevan Shah Industrial Zone Senior Vice President Muhammad Umar Farooq, General Secretary Nadeem Ahmed Shaikh, Finance Secretary Muhammad Hanif Behlam, Media Coordinator Muhammad Feroz Khan, Executive Members Haris Sarwar and Muhammad Fareed Shaikh, and Shoaib Malik of the Human Rights Youth Organization.
