LCCI assures Beadon Road traders of continued support

Faheem-ur-Rehman Saigol, President of the Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI), has promised continued assistance to traders on Beadon Road, according to Business Recorder. He made the commitment while meeting a delegation that reviewed trading activity in the area, the difficulties merchants face and steps needed to strengthen the local business climate. He argued that a favourable setting is central to boosting commerce and economic output.

The delegation, headed by Usman Alam of the Electric Market and Tahir Hafeez of the Hardware Market, included several other traders and LCCI Senior Vice President Tanveer Ahmad Sheikh. Participants pressed for improved amenities, a supportive climate and prompt settlement of their difficulties, describing Beadon Road as a significant trading centre in Lahore with many businesses. Saigol responded that the chamber would keep raising legitimate concerns with government departments and work toward resolutions.

Saigol said markets of this kind contribute to jobs, investment, government revenue and wider growth, and that the LCCI would expand its engagement with trade bodies across Lahore. He also said policymakers should take into account the views and practical realities of traders and industrialists. The chamber presents itself as a link between officials and the business community, and it plans to relay these concerns to the authorities.
