KARACHI:

The price surge has put a massive burden on the construction sector, which started picking up pace following the government’s initiatives to offset the impact of Covid-19 on the economy and employment in the country.
Association of Builders and Developers of Pakistan (ABAD) Chairman Fayyaz Ilyas rejected the recent price hike for iron bars and lamented that the construction industry and the Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme would suffer due to the increasing prices.
