Re: Sialkot exporters to launch airline
Saga city is the name of the company headquarters. I believe his demand was to be made the mayor for life, and he would transform the city. Sadly enough, he couldnt even transform his own company. His wife pretty much drove it into the ground after his death.
In any case, its a proud moment for Sialkotis. Considering the fact that the airport land was allocated back in the 80s by Gen Zia, its a shame none of the subsequent democratic govts allowed the airport to be built, nor to let a connecting highway be built to Lahore, which is why the local chamber decided to take matters into its own hands. PPP and PMLN protected their vested interests with the cargo mafia, but hard work of the local industrialists paid off. Now when you drive around the city, virtually every good thing is either built by the army, or by the industrialists…whether its the ring road, or airport, and now their own airline.
