The DG further mentioned that while the security situation in the city has improved, problems being faced by the builders and developers will also be addressed on a priority basis. Qambarani revealed that Gwadar Investment Conference will be organised soon.
ABAD VC Memon said that the development of Gwadar Port is part of Balochistan’s development and the association is keen on playing its part for the same. He requested the GDA DG to address developers’ concerns regarding issuance of NOC, clearance of the land title and installation of a one-window facility for this purpose.
Memon mentioned that various members of ABAD had purchased land in the city and procured their NOCs following the proper channel but these NOCs were later cancelled due to land title issues. He informed the GDA DG that once these issues are addressed, ABAD members could play their active role in the development of Gwadar.
