He again planned to work in Saudi Arabia and joined a British Construction company as an Office Secretary. He served there for two years. Feeling the need to be present at home for his children, he then returned to his hometown.
After returning back home he planned to start a business under the name Ghazi Ghee Mills at Mirpur with the help of his partner Haji Aziz.He successfully developed a ghee and cooking oil manufacturing industry but unfortunately while the infrastructure was being set up he suffered a heart attack and died in Rawalpindi on 17 May 1987.

Since then the company has grown. It now has a remarkable share in the consumer market and their products have gained much popularity.The company provided more than 300 direct jobs to the locals and about 200 indirect jobs for the adjacent areas but unfortunately at the last few years they have piled up huge losses due to uncertainty of Foreign Currency as their raw material was import based and ultimately they have no chance left and beyond their financial control and finally they decided to close down their business.
