He recalled that Chairman PPP and CM Sindh also briefed the business community on the ongoing mega infrastructure development projects in the province during that meeting.
He recommended that there should be a dedicated working group or committee between GoS and FPCCI to achieve a sense of ownership and confidence in the business community that the government is easily accessible to them for their genuine issues along with swift and efficient communication and redressal of challenges.
