DPP agrees to form committee

KARACHI: Department of Plant Protection (DPP) Director General (Quarantine) Dr Falak Naz has agreed to form a joint committee with the Karachi Chamber in a bid to resolve numerous issues being faced by the importers and exporters. Various commodities, whose consignments remain stuck at ports for many days, are causing heavy losses to the traders on account of demurrages and detention charges. Speaking at a meeting during a visit to the KCCI, Naz discussed the issues pertaining to extensive tests and delay in the issuance of import permits and certifications. These issues were not complicated and could be resolved, therefore, the DPP would take steps to streamline the overall process and provide relief to both the importers and exporters, Naz added.
