Voice of dissent: Threat feared for business in Chitral

CHITRAL: The president  of Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), Haji Muhammad Khan, said unfavourable elements were trying to take over businesses and resources in Chitral.

Speaking at a news conference at Chitral Press Club. Muhammad Khan said a non-local business group was trying to occupy the business arena in the district, creating hurdles for local traders.

He said local businesspersons were frightened that their trade might suffer a downfall.

A Chitrali company applied for a contract
with PSO Pak Gas Agency during 2008.

When the process completed in 2012 and the Chitrali company was called to sign the final deed and hand the security deposit, the non-local company swooped in to halt the process.
