PESHAWAR, July 23: The Frontier  Printers  and  Publishers Association has demanded of the government to give incentives to the people involved in printing businesss to help them earn with hounour and dignity.

Speaking at a news conference here on Wednesday, Khursheed Akhunzada, president of the association, said Wapda was charging the printers as commercial consumers.

He was of the view that the printing presses were small industries and needed to be extended incentives. The private organizations and NGOs did their printing work from the other provinces, whereas the government-owned department were doing their printing work at the Government Printing Press, which he said was against the rules, because the owners paid huge taxes to the government and in return they were not being given any facility.
