KARACHI: Site Association of Industry Chairman Saleem Parekh on Wednesday demanded of the Prime Minister Imran Khan to ensure uninterrupted gas supply to Karachi industries.
Saleem Parekh asked the prime minister to take notice of gas closure to SITE industries which had crippled their production-line and threatened timely fulfillment of export commitments worth millions of dollars.
He said that Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) had assured the industrial community of uninterrupted gas supply but despite all the assurances the gas company suspended gas supply to Karachi industry.
