The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) while expressing deep concern over awful prolonged loadshedding, has demanded of the government to withdraw immediately the exemption of loadshedding being enjoyed by VIP grid stations other than hospitals and sensitive installations.
According to the LCCI President Irfan Qaiser Sheikh, the government would not be able to control loadshedding unless and until the exemption given to the VIP entities is withdrawn. He said that how the people sitting on the helm of affairs and bureaucracy could feel gravity of the situation when they are enjoying uninterrupted electricity supply through these VIP grid stations.
"They will work on war footing to enhance the power generation when they will face 14 to 18 hours loadshedding in a day", he added. The LCCI President said that government has not shown any seriousness in solving the unprecedented energy crisis that has forced the fasting people to take to the streets to draw the attention of the President of Pakistan, the Prime Minister and the Ministers towards this pathetic situation. "It should be an eye-opener for the government that not only the opposition, but allies are also registering their protest against loadshedding in National Assembly and Senate", he said.
