Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah after detailed discussion categorically decided that the winding up of Textile City was not in the interest of the country and the province. “The Sindh government will support the revival of the city so that employment opportunities for 80,000 workers can be created,” he said. The federal government formed a company which borrowed over Rs1 billion from National bank of Pakistan and drained out with ill planning. The chief minister directed the Sindh chief secretary to write a letter to Chairman Winding-Up Committee Barrister Zafrullah Khan in order to apprise him about the decision of the provincial government. The standing committee chairman and members said that they would direct PQA chairman to sit with Sindh Land Utilization Board of Revenue secretary to resolve the dispute over land.
