Ameer Jamat islami Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman meeting with executive member mr. Juniad Aslam

The President Sargodha Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Khawaja Yasir Qayyum, has called on the federal government to permit the import of seedless Kinnow plants to boost Kinnow exports. He stated that the Kinnow industry is struggling due to reduced international demand for seeded Kinnows. Seedless Kinnow baskets are currently sold for $10 in foreign markets, while Pakistani Kinnow baskets sell for only $3, despite high demand for seedless varieties. Our Kinnow industry contributes $300 million in annual export revenue and directly or indirectly employs 3 to 4 million people. However, the current Kinnow plant, imported from California in 1920, now faces challenges like various diseases, skin blemishes, and reduced per-acre yield, significantly impacting Kinnow exports.

He pointed out that increasing encroachments and street vendors are exacerbating traffic problems, while the city's infrastructure remains outdated despite population growth. He emphasized the responsibility of the city government to operationalize traffic signals and the need for clear speed limit signage on highways. He urged traders to obtain licenses, noting that education, rather than fines, is crucial for resolving these issues. He also mentioned efforts to raise awareness about traffic laws in educational institutions and called for support from the University of Sargodha to encourage students to obtain licenses.
