The Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry has shown concern on repeated complaints of low gas pressure in Ferozepur Road and other industrial areas and urged the authorities concerned to resolve the issue once for all. LCCI President Abdul Basit while talking to the representatives of the Ferozepur Road Industrial area on Monday said that low gas pressure is like non-provision of gas.
It hurts industry badly; therefore, the authorities should take all steps to keep the industrial wheel on the run. The representative of Ferozepur Road Industrial area informed the Lahore Chamber chief that low pressure of gas has become one of the biggest issues being faced by the industrialists of the area. They said because of low pressure of gas, industrial production is at the lowest ebb.
Basit said at a time when country is struggling to achieve export target, unavailability of gas to the industrial sector would play a devastating role. He said how the government would be able to collect revenues to run its day-to-day affairs when the industrial wheel is coming to a halt. The government should understand that economic well being is a must and it is only possible when business community would be able to play its due role, he said.
He said the industry needs a continuous supply of gas and electricity to keep the units operational and to complete the export orders well within the given timeframe but only because of the shortage of electricity the exports are not up to the mark.
