KARACHI:Minister for Industries and Commerce Jam Ikramuallah Dharejo has commended the efforts of Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah and his team to end industrialists’ protests against the gas shutdown and demanded of the federal government that it should stop discrimination with Sindh and ensure timely and complete supply of gas to industrial and domestic consumers.
He said that the federal government’s poor policies had shut down industries in Sindh, leaving thousands of homes cold and causing unemployment manifolds. In a statement issued here on Monday, he said that due to the load shedding of gas and electricity, the people of Sindh had become poor and the Sindh government is with them in favor of legitimate demands of industrialists.
Dharejo further said that the federal government should take positive steps to restore the industries in Sindh and ensure gas and electricity supply in the province as well. Jam Ikramuallah Dharejo said that the industrial activities depended on proper supply of gas and electricity to the industries and without these facilities no sector could make progress.
