HYDERABAD, March 26: Senator Ilyas Ahmad Bilour has given an assurance that he will make efforts to fix a quota of train seats for businessmen of Hyderabad.

He was talking to traders and industrialists of the Hyderabad region at the secretariat of the Hyderabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Saturday.

He said the Pakistan Railways’ Advisory Committee needed to be revived as it would provide an opportunity to the country’s chambers of commerce and industry to identify problems confronting people of different regions relating to the railway department.

Mr Bilour said he would do his best to serve the cause of the business community and resolve their problems.

He said the HCCI had been given an additional seat on the FPCCI so that problems of the business community of the interior of Sindh could be resolved.

HCCI president Abdur Razzaq Memon in his welcome speech acknowledged the services of Mr Bilore in the cause of the business community and offered him cooperation of industrialists and traders.
