KARACHI: President SITE Association of Industry (SAI) Riaz Uddin condemned suspension in gas supply to Industries and their captive power plants (CPP) and requested federal and provincial governments to take an immediate notice of grave situation created by Sui Sothern Gas Company in such difficult times.

Supply of gas to industries/CPPs is critical to ensure provision of clean and uninterrupted energy to Industries said Riaz Uddin. He elaborated that fluctuations in electricity or interruptions therein not only result in production losses but inflict severe damage of control panels and of sophisticated power drives, rendering them irreparable in prevailing situation due to restriction on import of machinery and spares.

Gas supply situation to industries in SIT even after arrival of summer is absolutely unfair, discriminatory and wrongful act which is highly uncalled for. He appealed government to issue strict directives for urgent resumption of gas supply with ample pressure and 24/7 continuity to all industries and their CPPs else industrialists will be forced to close down their production units on this count alone.
