LAHORE: Over 110 industrial units have reduced their production due to 12-hour unscheduled power outages in the Sundar Industrial Estate (SIE), causing losses of millions of rupees to the national exchequer, an industry official said.

These power outages are not only hindering production, but are also increasing unemployment, as three-shift industrial units are now running only one shift, said Punjab Industrial Estates Chief Executive Officer Javed Iqbal. Iqbal urged concerned authorities to take immediate remedial measures to avoid any negative impact on the economy.
