Lahore High Court Judicial Water and Environment Commission (LHC-JWEC) Member Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali visited Sundar Industrial Estate here on Monday.
Punjab Industrial Estates Development and Management Company (PIEDMC) Chairman Javed Iqbal and President Sundar Industrial Estate Muhammad Ahmed Khan welcomed the JWEC and gave him a detailed presentation on the eradication of environmental pollution and other environmentally friendly measures in the Sundar Estate.
Chairman Javed Iqbal suggested that instead of closing a factory right away for breaking rules, the government should give time to fix the problem. Chaudhry Zulfiqar agreed and said an action plan will be made immediately.
He also praised the team of PEDMC and said that industries are important for the economy. The chairman shared that the AQI (Air Quality Index) level in Sundar Industrial Estate is far lower than many areas of Lahore, which proves that PIEDMC and Sundar industrialists are making serious efforts for a healthy environment.
PIEDMC Director Shahzad Azam Khan, Syed Maaz Mahmood, and other industrialists were also present.
They all gave suggestions for better teamwork between the government and factory owners.
At the end, everyone planted trees as part of the Green Sundar campaign.
