Patron in chief of the North Karachi Association of Trade and Industry (NKATI), Captain A Moiz Khan, and President NKATI Naseem Akhtar have expressed concerns over possible gas pressure reduction in winter and demanded to Managing Director Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC), to prepare early plan by addressing this upcoming issue.
They point out that winter is coming and during the winter industries are always faced with low gas pressure which badly affects industrial production, making timely fulfillment of export orders difficult.
Capt A Moiz and Naseem Akhtar suggested to MD SSGC that the winter season is about to begin during which the usual gas pressure could be reduced, which is alarming for the industries in the ongoing economic crisis.
As gas is the primary raw material of textile industry, including mostly export oriented industries.
Therefore, due to reduction in gas pressure, industrial production may be halted and the delivery of export orders on time will not be possible for the exporters. As a result, export orders are likely to be canceled and exporters will face significant losses if this happens.
NKATI's leaders demanded of MD Sui Southern Gas to prepare an industry consultation plan to improve gas supply system as per the requirement of industries and also inform how to deal with the problem of gas pressure reduction in winter so that industries don't face gas shortages in cold weather.
