Federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Sohail Wajahat H Siddiqui has said that all out efforts are needed to address the issue of energy crisis being faced by the country. This he said while chairing a meeting on gas pricing for the fertilizer sector under the Fertilizer Policy 2001, said a press release issued here on Friday.
The minister said that uniform rates of gas pricing for the industrial sector need to be introduced to eradicate the discrimination among different sectors. "However, all the stakeholders will be taken into confidence before introducing any such mechanism," the minister assured. He suggested, "As energy and industrial sectors are interdependent, the win-win solution will be that both sectors make small adjustments for optimal utilisation of the available resources."

"Only a developed and blooming industrial sector can ensure the economic wellbeing of the nation as a whole," he maintained.
