President of Korangi Association of Trade & Industry (KATI) Tariq Malik expressed concern over announcement by K- Electric’s spokesman of load shedding in Industrial Areas of Karachi due to shortage of gas supply.Tariq Malik, called upon Governor Sindh Mr. Muhammad Zubair and Chief Minister Sindh Mr Murad Ali Shah to take note of the grave situation.

He said that reduction in gas supply to KE would cause problems for industries. Any interruptions to power supply will affect our revenue generation potential being. In the past years the industries have been exempted from load shed which has been a welcome policy enabling us to meet our production and export targets. A sudden change to this regime will set us back tremendously. He urged the all relevant authorities and departments to ensure required gas supply to K-Electric to resume generation at the level that the supply company could maintain the load shedding exemption for industrial area.
