In a statement, Abdul Gafoor Malik said that the primary objective of the Business Facilitation Centre (BFC) is to provide efficient one-window services to the business community of Sialkot. “This will be achieved through 17 dedicated counters that are equipped to handle the issuance of NOCs from various departments, including but not limited to Environment Protection, Civil Defence, Forestry Wildlife and Fisheries, Industries Commerce Investment & Skills Development, Punjab Small Industries Corporation, Local Government, TMA, Police, and Health Department. Members can also receive any NOC that is to be issued from Lahore directly from the BFC Sialkot thanks to interconnectivity of all the BFCs of Punjab,” he added.
