Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Engineering Development Board (EDB) Raza Abbas Shah has been suspended by the Ministry of Industries and Production (MOI&P). The reason is said to be the annoyance of GoP due to the controversial policies of the EDB CEO with the industrial sector, especially new entrants under Auto Development Policy 2016-21 which created competition in the market.
