Punjab To Set Up Three-Tier System for Instant Trader Support: Harpal Cheema
Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema chaired a high-level meeting of the Punjab State Traders Commission (PSTC). The session was part of the state government’s ongoing initiative to strengthen the "ease of doing business" and deepen engagement with Punjab’s trading community.
Serving as the Chairman of the PSTC, Cheema outlined a new objective to establish a robust three-tier system. This framework is designed to connect traders directly with the administration, ensuring timely support and resolution of concerns. To facilitate this, the Minister directed District Trade Committee chairmen to proactively engage with local traders and gather feedback on ground-level issues.
A key outcome of the meeting was the announcement of special district-level camps scheduled for February 10 and February 11. These camps aim to provide prompt redressal of local grievances. "District Trade Committee chairmen must reach out actively to traders and understand their issues," Cheema said, emphasising that local problems should be addressed immediately at the district level.
The Minister further instructed that issues requiring intervention beyond the district scope must be systematically documented. These complex matters are to be forwarded to the PSTC for swift, state-level resolution. Cheema underscored that this process ensures effective and time-bound solutions for any feedback needing higher-level action.
