Relief package for steel industry sought

PESHAWAR: Former president of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and executive member of Pakistan Steel Mills Association, Zubair Ali, on Saturday urged the government to open steel industry and give relief to the sector.

“Like construction industry, the government must also open the steel industry and announce relief for the sector,” he said in a statement.

He said that construction and steel industries were part and parcel and giving relief and incentives only to the former was not sufficient to boost the sector.
