From December 2016, SEZs are in focus, and are now a provincial subject. The plan for them is now being unfolded, and based on local endowment, industry specific to each location are being assessed. The need of the hour is to plan and design special economic zones that are environment friendly so that the long run sustainability is ensured. Environment should remain a top concern while Development, since prevention is always better then cure. This is the right time to put up proposals to turn SEZs into green SEZs, and CPEC a green project.
