PESHAWAR:
In a bid to boost industrialization in the province, the provincial government on Friday directed to ensure all roads connecting the Rashakai Economic Zone are completed at the earliest apart from completing the revised development agreement while finalising pending modalities.
Directions were also issued to move a formal summary for the transfer for 50 acres of land for the construction of the Swat Economic Zone.
This was directed by Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister Mahmood Khan while chairing a progress review meeting of the industries department in Peshawar on Friday.
During the meeting, Mahmood stated that Industries play a key role in not only revenue generation but also in generating livelihood opportunities, which is paramount in meeting unemployment challenges.
Mahmood was briefed on the progress made in setting up eight proposed economic zones in different areas of the province along with work on 13 developmental projects related to industries.
He was told that a draft development agreement for the Rashakai Special Economic Zone has been finalized and the ground-breaking ceremony will be held immediately after its approval.

CM Mahmood directed that the required land for the project should be cleared and the provision of electricity and gas should be ensured within the set time frame so that work can start.
He further directed to finalise a workable plan, in consultation with the finance department, for procuring 1,000 acres of additional land for the establishment of the Hattar Special Economic Zone as he stressed on the need for completing all proposed economic zones in the province.
Noting that the Mohmand Marble Industrial Zone will be the first-ever industrial zone to be established by the provincial government in the newly-merged districts, he further directed that all necessary modalities should be worked out on a priority basis so that people of tribal districts may benefit from the dividends of industrialization.
With regards to Industrialization initiative in the southern districts of the province, CM Mahmood stated that the Darband Special Economic Zone will be established on 2,600 acres. The zone, he said, not only has the most feasible geographical location but will also bring about an Industrial revolution in the southern districts.
