A variety of local agricultural products, handicrafts, foods, and manufacturing industries are put on display in 100 kiosks at the exhibition that will conclude Saturday, Bakhtar cited Qari Enayatullah Yasini, an official of the provincial department of industry and commerce.
The event aims to boost local products and small-scale business activities, the official said, adding that the interim administration is committed to supporting local enterprises as part of its broader efforts to help communities achieve self-sufficiency.
