Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry terms Punjab budget 2015-16 as pro-industry, pro-poor and relief-oriented

Lahore, June 12, 2015 (PPI-OT): The LCCI President Ijaz A. Mumtaz has termed the Punjab budget for year 2015-16 as pro-industry, pro-poor and relief-oriented. The government of Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif deserves congratulations on presenting a balanced budget, he said in a statement here on Friday.

Ijaz A. Mumtaz said that the budget for year 2015-16 is unprecedented as allocations for poverty alleviation, education, health sectors and infrastructure would go a long way in giving required boost to the province.

He said the whole country in general and the industrial sector in particular was suffering heavily because of severe energy shortage and government resolve to produce electricity through coal and LNG is a step in right direction and an ample proof of Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s visionary approach.

LCCI President said that Ramazan Package, Orange Line Train and Metro projects would ensure relief to the masses. He said that allocation of maintenance of law and order in the province was enough to prove that Punjab government was serious in improving law and order at every cost.
