LCCI Executive Committee Member Muhammad Haroon Arora was also present on the occasion.
The Punjab governor informed the LCCI president about his initiatives of providing clean and safe drinking water to the school children of the province and said that availability of clean drinking has become a serious issue in the recent years in the country due to the presence of life threatening biological, chemical and dissolved solids in drinking water.
