Action Needed: Government asked to take steps to restore gas, power

FAISALABAD:


The Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturer and Exporters Association (PHMEA) North Zone demanded the government to take immediate steps for the provision of power and gas to save the industry from collapse and boost exports.


PHMEA Chairman Salamat Ali told reporters on Friday that due to hours of gas load shedding and power suspension, manufacturing activities of the hosiery industry had been affected drastically.

The experts of the hosiery industry were facing difficulties fulfilling their export commitments with foreign buyers, leading to declining markets, he added.
