According to details, Punjab Finance Minister Hashim Jawan Bakht announced that special representation would be given to the cottage industries and small business to participate in the show.
“The show activities will continue for three days starting from March 10th. The elements of harmonization of modern technology with tradition will be highlighted in the show.
