Punjab-based textile industry: loadshedding returns to 8 hours a day

Power load shedding for the Punjab-based textile industry returned to eight hours a day from earlier 10 hours a day, said sources. According to the well placed sources, the NTDC returned to original plan after holding 10 hours a day electricity load shedding during last three consecutive days.
It may be noted that the Punjab-based textile industry was highly disturbed over the increase in electricity load shedding, triggering the mismatch between the electricity and gas supply to keep their operations intact. The PEPCO officials have withdrawn electricity for another two hours on account of drop in quota of supplies from the NTDC. Accordingly, they had conveyed to the industry for upward revival of load shedding to 10 hours from earlier eight hours a day.
