Industrialists said that both gas and power load shedding are killing the industry. They complained that it has become impossible for them to open factories in such conditions.

Gas officials claimed they do not have enough reserves to meet the needs of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkha.

Syed A. Mateen | 14 years ago | Reply Due to shortage of electricity, exports are continuously declining. Factories are closed which is creating unemployment in the country. We must act on war footing basis to end the menace of shortage of electricity from the country. Federal Minister of Water and Power supply must understand one thing very clearly. Pakistan is losing foreign exchange with every passing day. Can we afford to do that? If the answer is in negative then what he was doing for the last two years in the government? With such a poor performance on his part, I doubt that he will not able to win in the next general elections.
