LCCI acting President Kashif Younis Meher and Vice President Saeeda Nazar were talking to the former Vice President Aftab Ahmad Vohra and former President Lahore Customs Agents Association Sajid Meer.
Aftab Ahmad Vohra and Sajid Meer informed that LCCI office-bearers that about 400 to 500 containers are handled on average by bonded carriers for shipment to upcountry and Afghanistan but due to their strike both the trade and industry were in deep troubles. After listening to their point of view, the LCCI office-bearers said that the economy of the country were already facing multiple challenges and therefore the government should make all trade and industry related decisions in consultation with the concerned stakeholders instead of taking unilateral decisions.
