LAHORE: The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has slammed the closure of Engineering Development Board (EDB) and demanded the government to restore this important entity in the larger interest of the industrial sector, a statement said on Thursday.

LCCI President Malik Tahir Javaid said that the Engineering Development Board is essential for the industry. The LCCI was demanding its revival since long, but the government has decided against the will of the stakeholders, he added.

The EDB was playing a fundamental role in the promotion of engineering sector and its closure would worsen the things, the LCCI president said.
