He said that under her leadership, the Punjab Government has launched wide-ranging and impactful reforms in key sectors including infrastructure, health, education, agriculture, water supply and transport which are making Punjab a progressive and investor-friendly province.
“Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz deserves full credit for transforming Punjab into a modern province where public welfare remains at the core of all development priorities,” Mian Abuzar Shad added.
While highlighting the remarkable strides in healthcare, he said that mobile clinics, upgraded health units, free medicine in public hospitals and special cardiac care facilities are making quality medical care accessible for all. These reforms speak volumes about the government’s sensitivity to human health and its commitment to improving public services.
The LCCI President also praised the roads from farm-to-market which has significantly improved the cost-effective transportation of agricultural produce and benefiting both farmers and buyers. Construction and repair of roads in urban and rural areas have enhanced connectivity and catalyzed commercial activity.
He said that investments in improving traffic flow through flyovers, underpasses and upgrades to the mass transit system, not only saving time and fuel but also promote environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. Smooth transportation of commercial goods has accelerated trade and commerce throughout the province.
In the agriculture sector, the LCCI President appreciated subsidy schemes, the launch of Kisan Cards, access to modern machinery and real-time information via digital platforms. These steps, he said, are empowering small farmers and bringing them into the fold of modern, profitable agriculture.
Mian Abuzar Shad said Punjab’s push for education is encouraging. He said the upgrade of schools and colleges, provision of free books, teacher training and focus on girls’ education has laid the foundation for a brighter, knowledge-driven future. The introduction of transport services and scholarships for female students has already led to a rise in enrollment.
The LCCI President also lauded the revival of clean water supply projects and improvements in drainage systems, ensuring that both urban and rural populations have access to safe drinking water—an essential but long-neglected basic necessity.
He said CM’s focus on women empowerment and youth uplift, business support, financial aid, training and skill development would go a long way and inject new energy into the provincial economy.
Mian Abuzar Shad gave special acknowledgment to the Chief Minister’s efforts in creating a business-friendly environment through One Window Operations, revival of industrial zones and simplified business registration processes, which have helped restore both local and international investor confidence.
He said that the Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry stands shoulder to shoulder with the Punjab government and will continue to play an active role in realizing the shared vision of a prosperous, modern and economically vibrant Punjab.
