The first Dry Port Trust of South Punjab was established 28 years ago in the region of Sher Shah near Multan. Its purpose was to provide facilities for industrialists and traders in the Vehari area.
It was anticipated that providing customs clearance facilities in Multan for industries and importers from Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, and Bahawalpur would increase imports and exports, creating new employment opportunities for the people.
Unfortunately, this could not happen, and the dry port has been ‘semi-active’ since 1995 until now.
