SSGC demanded to restore gas to industries with required pressure

KARACHI: President of SITE Association of Industry Suleman Chawla, has expressed deep concerns over very low gas pressure in SITE area Karachi and demanded the SSGC to immediately restore gas to industrial sector with required pressure otherwise production will come to a halt completely.

Suleman Chawla said that in a meeting held recently at Sindh Governor House, the representatives of industrial associations were given assurance that gas pressure would improve from Monday (13/7/20) but the SSGC has not kept their promise and for the last two days, SITE area industries have been getting very low gas pressure which is almost zero, badly affecting industrial production.

Expressing anguish over the current situation, Chawla said that it is very well known to the government that the country will prosper if the wheels of industry keep on moving. But unfortunately, such actions of the government are creating hurdles in the way of industrial production and we fail to understand the will of the government.

"We are already fighting with Covid-19 pandemic for the last five months. It is unfortunate that everyday such steps taken by the government are making difficult for industries to function smoothlu," added the SITE president.
