Industrialists from Jalandhar as well as from the four districts of the Doaba region—Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala, and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar—also participated in the event.

Speaking on the occasion, Arora said the Punjab government is creating a favorable environment for industries in the state so that maximum investment can take place in Punjab.

“This particular campaign has been started for the convenience of industrialists so that the suggestions and grievances raised by the industrialists during the event will be resolved by the government in a time-bound manner. It will help the government to frame policies in line with these suggestions,” he said.

Earlier, he held a meeting with senior officials of the above four districts in which the directions were issued to ensure timely approvals to industrialists under the single window system for the convenience of entrepreneurs.

“The industrialists are the brand ambassadors of Punjab and solving the problems of industries is among the top priority of the government as they are providing employment to the youth at large scale,” he said.
