The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) has urged the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to take immediate steps for the revival of 200 closed units.
“The closing down of industries in Haripur district is an alarming situation and the government must chalk out strategy to revive industries in the province,” said TDAP Chief Executive Officer S.M. Muneer in a statement issued yesterday.
Addressing the oath-taking ceremony of newly elected office-bearers of the Haripur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (HCCI), he said that more than 600 units were operating in this industrial hub of the province and assured the business community that sick units would be revived.
HCCI President Atif Ikram Sheikh said that the industries were closed due to energy crisis and poor law and order situation.
