Shares
PESHAWAR: The government will soon set up the Pakistan Land Port Authority (PLPA) to facilitate the business community, including exporters and importers by better functioning of affairs at border regions.
The authority is going to be established in support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aimed at modernising the external border of Pakistan.
The initiative is expected to discourage illegal trade and remove hurdles in the way of bilateral and transit trade with Afghanistan as well as Central Asian Republics (CARs).
Addressing at a meeting regarding the proposed PLPA here at the Customs House on Saturday, Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) Senior Vice President, Engineer Mansoor Elahi, appreciated the government for consulting the business community and relevant stakeholders in this regard.
