At the meeting it was said the existing management had requested the provincial government to issue a no-objection certificate to shift movable assets and machinery of the mills to DI Khan from Bannu in 2013.
After a thorough discussion, the provincial government gave the approval to shift the assets but the relevant department was directed to look into specifics.
It was decided to summon a senior member of the board of revenue and Bannu deputy commissioner with all relevant records in next meeting of the committee.
Records will be collected from other stakeholders to prepare an accurate and authentic report which would be submitted in the Cabinet.
