Amritsar: In a bid to boost the State’s economy, the Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday announced that he would soon write to the Government of India (GoI) besides seeking appointment from the Union Home Minister Amit Shah to flag the issue for opening trade with the neighboring country of Pakistan.
Acceding to the major demand of the PHD Chamber of Commerce & Industry, CM Channi announced that the foundation stone of a convention centre for PITEX over an area of 10 acres would be laid within this week to enable the organization to carry out diverse range of activities to promote trade and industry in the region in a big way.
In his address during the 15th Edition of the Punjab International Trade Expo (PITEX) here, CM Channi questioned if the trade can be carried by the sea route then why not the same is permitted through land route as it would propel enormous opportunities of economic prosperity.
Likewise, CM Channi also said that a digital single window system would be put in place shortly to ensure all kinds of requisite permissions from a unified platform to the industrialists in a seamless manner. “This move would also enable them to apply for permissions from their homes to almost removing the user interface with the officials thus increasing transparency”, said Channi.
