ISLAMABAD: Chairman Capital Office FCCI Karim Aziz Malik has stated that food security has become a serious issue that authorities must address immediately. Pakistan\u2019s population is over 240 million, and to secure it, it is necessary to protect agricultural land. He expressed these views in a statement along with Vice President Tariq Jadon, Ashfaq Ahmed, and Chairman Coordination Malik Sohail. He said that we need to start from Punjab. The land in Sialkot, Pasrur, Gujrat, and Wazirabad is very fertile for rice and wheat. Until ten years ago, these areas had agricultural land, but in the last few years, they are being converted into industrialization and housing societies, which is very worrying. Where there is no cultivation or areas are near cities, develop those instead of agricultural land, just as SIFC has started work in Cholistan, away from the city in Bahawalpur, for agriculture, for which they deserve congratulations. The government should definitely pursue industrialization, which is the backbone and a major source of employment, but it should also protect agricultural land for a secure agricultural future. The government can organize a seminar on this important issue in collaboration with the FPCCI to highlight it DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
