Minimum loadshedding for industrial cities to enhance productivity: PM Gilani

Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Sunday said power loadshedding in industrial cities would be kept at minimum level to enhance overall industrial production in the country. Addressing members of business community and PPP workers here at Sialkot International Airport during his short stay, he said the budget had been formulated after consultation with elected representatives and chambers of commerce and industries to ensure economic prosperity and mitigate people’s problems. He said he would announce special incentives for industrialists and traders to bring about political and economic stability in the country.
He said a special grant of Rs 500 million would soon be released for carrying out remaining work of Sialkot International Airport, which had been upheld due to last year’s devastating floods.
Earlier, the Prime Minister was welcomed by Punjab Governor Sardar Latif Khosa and Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan, PPP leaders and senior government officials at the Airport. APP
