President of Lasbela Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Ismail Suttar urged the government to immediately withdraw the levy of GIDC on the gas consumption to provide some relief to the trade and industries.
Terming the GIDC as an anti-business initiative, he said that the levy of such charges and other similar policies of the government are leading to the state of unemployment, anti-production and therefore contributed to the sluggish export performance of the country.
He demanded to withdraw the GIDC levied on gas consumption on the pretext of "Pak-Iran Gas Pipeline Project", as no work is being done on this project.
He mentioned that in a meeting with the Managing Director, SSGC held recently office-bearers of FPCCI, KCCI, LCCI and other chambers, associations and trade bodies have unanimously rejected the levy of GIDC and termed it extremely unjustified.
