ISLAMABAD, Aug 31 (NNN-APP) – Minister for Industries of Pakistan’s southwest Balochistan province, Muhammad Khan Toor Utmankhail, said, the provincial government named three major districts as “marble cities” to attract foreign and local investments in the mining sector.
Dedicated markets would be established at the marble cities, including Loralai, Khuzdar and Dalbandin, to offer vast business opportunities to investors, the Associated Press of Pakistan quoted the minister as saying, on Sunday.
With the establishment of the marble cities, employment opportunities for 30,000 locals will be created and the entire province would benefit from its associated benefits, the minister said.
The minister said, all the facilities for carving marble stones would be provided, to attract maximum investment in the sector. The move will also help fulfil the demand of various varieties of marble in the country and foreign markets.
