‘Pakistan’s biggest industrial estates to be set up in Layyah, Muzaffargarh’

[Kabira]

Kindly read my next post, from planning point of view I completely agree that investment should spread out over multiple cities but in case of Sindh there is no workforce and infrastructure so its useless.

Infraestructure needs to be build from ground up for SEZ that large. People can be trained etc Layyah/Muzafargarh is like one of poorest districts in south punjab. So one may not find trained population from get go but land will be cheap and it will help locals who will not have to move out to big cities.

Not really. Rest of Sindh should be more suitable then Karachi now. But thats where PPP have failed over the decades.

One of most important aspect is land prices, pretty sure land in Karachi will cost many times more then middle of Layyah. Thats why no one setting up SEZ in Lahore.

Karachi should attract high end investment only like in IT parks. Cheap labour is curse for Karachi with 50% or more of population now living in katchi abadis. It has resulted in overpopulation .

If PTI can build these SEZ in south punjab and at the same time attract investment then it will be huge.

Its not like everyone in poor districts is uneducated, its just many move out to big cities for jobs. More difficult job is to convince industrialists to invest.

Yes but do they want to come back ? Establishing one or two industtial is possoble just like Rahim Yar Khan or Thar but establoshing EEZ is really difficult however this is right thing to do and can be achieved in long term.

First of all u need to establish technical training institues and established industry specific zone for example electic item based can be established near chaghi considering coper reserves

Brother r u comparing layyah with karachi ? Seriously?

You should delete your first sentence. That mentality should have no place in the hearts and minds of anyone who calls themselves Pakistani.

Please don't take what I said out of context, it clearly shows that not only Punjab has talent and skilled labor, plus its growing faster than any other area of the country.

The problems are many, first one is investors are not willing go even to district near Karachi to setup industries. Why is that? PPP Zulfiqarabad city project along with Port Bandar which was supposed to be huge failed to take off. Apparently Sindhi nationalists started campaign against project and termed it ploy to turn them in to minority. I don't think any investor will go to such place if there are alternatives available.
