Kohat: The government has approved PKR 86 million for the construction of a boundary wall around an industrial estate in Kohat, a news source reported. The boundary wall will be constructed over an area of 35 acres.
Informed sources said a separate feeder worth PKR 14.5 million had been installed, and a payment of PKR 4.5 million had been made for the provision of gas facility.
Malik Tahir Khattak, assistant director of small industrial estate, said he had written to the departments concerned to install a checkpost as security of the investors was of utmost importance.
He said the establishment of industries would bring about prosperity, development and address the problem of unemployment in the district. By 2015, only two factories could be established in the dormant zone since 1983, and now work was underway on setting up 27 more units.
