Lahore: The Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) has initiated an operation against unlicensed and illegal steel mills, seizing hundreds of tons of deformed steel bars, as news sources reported on December 8.
The PSQCA team raided six units involved in producing substandard steel construction products and sealed the premises of the units. The authority has prohibited the mills from producing the products in the future. The raids took place at six unlicensed steel manufacturers in Daroghawala. In addition to the steel bars, the team also seized a cable manufacturing unit’s stock and prohibited its management from further production.
It is worth noting that the Steel Manufacturers Association recently wrote to the federal government and the PSQCA, urging them to take action against such enterprises that produce inferior steel products. The letter warned the government that steel products manufactured outside of established procedures harm structures and cause long-term material and human life damage.
