SUKKUR, May 24: Sindh Minister for Works and Services Manzoor Hussain Wassan has said that 5,000 acres have been allocated for establishment of three new industrial zones.

“The proposals to make Sukkur and Nawabshah tax-free industrial zones for the next 10 years have been sent to the prime minister,” he told APP on Saturday.

The new government, he said, was making extensive efforts to establish industrial zones all over Sindh as it was most ideal province for investment.

The minister said measures were under way to improve law and order situation in interior of Sindh. He stressed that businessmen should work towards regaining all the markets they have lost to their competitors.

Mr Wassan further shared the government’s aim to build a new power plant which would address power crisis and aid traders in conducting their businesses better.—APP
