Registration of Ditwah-hit businesses for Rs. 200,000 relief extended to 16 Jan.
The Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Ministry said business registration for export, manufacturing, and other enterprises affected by Cyclone Ditwah has resumed under a second phase and will be extended until 16 January.
The Ministry said the registration was restarted following requests from manufacturing and small-scale industrial operators.
It also said a disaster relief grant of Rs. 200,000 will be extended to small and medium-scale factories that have yet to register with the Ministry, with payments to be channelled through the Divisional Secretariats in the affected districts.
According to a Ministry assessment, 29,649 export, manufacturing, and small and medium-scale businesses have already registered through the newly introduced hotline, while a further 9,628 export and manufacturing factories fall directly under the Ministry’s supervision.
The Ministry said follow-up assistance is being provided to all affected enterprises, with around 1,500 officials deployed to support the process.
