ISPA adjustment charges: NKATI warns it will close factories in protest against KE

North Karachi Association of Trade and Industry (NKATI) leaders have warned K-Electric to stop harassing and not to enforcing Industrial Support Programme (ISPA) adjustment charges till 30th April 2020, otherwise industrialists will lockdown their factories as a protest, in this result aside from having a very negative impact on exports, also have concerns about the unemployment of workers, while K-Electric will be responsible of industries shutdown and workers' unemployment.

In an emerging meeting, Capt A Moiz Khan and President Naseem Akhtar said that industries have received supplementary bills in the name of ISP adjustment but due to coronavirus threats and lockdown, it's impossible for industries to pay bills. They urge Governor Sindh Imran Ismail and Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah for intervention and issue directives to K-Electric not to enforce ISPA charges till 30th April 2020, as K-Electric had deferred the ISPA till 30th April 2020.

"If K-Electric will not stop to harassment business community and continue to enforce for ISPA adjustment charges before 30th April 2020, industrialist will lockdown their factories and do protest against this injustice act," NKATI leaders threaten.
