The business community of Southern Punjab has condemned the decision of Ministry of Water & Power to increase loadshedding from eight hours earlier to 10 hours a day for the Punjab industrial sector describing it unjust and detrimental to the industry. President of Multan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) Khawaja Muhammad Usman has vociferously rejected the arbitrary decision of 10 hours loadshedding.
He added that the government had revised the electricity loadshedding schedule only for seven days and fallen back again to irrational and anti-industry schedule. He also apprehended that the industrial workers in Punjab would be on the roads that may lead to law and order situation. Usman said that Industrialists of South Punjab could not avail the facility of Generalised System of Preference (GSP) plus status granted by the European Union due to unjustified loadshedding of electricity and gas.
