Chairman Pakistan Industrial and Traders Associations Front (PIAF) Faheemur Rehman Saigol declared the government’s decision to increase electricity base tariff by Rs7.50 per unit harmful for the trade and industry, as the businesses are already under financial stress, urged the government to reverse the proposed jump in power charges.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, he said the government’s decision to increase the electricity tariff is anti-industry, and the PIAF strongly condemns the government’s move and calls on it to rescind it. He urged the power ministry to identify system constraints and communicate targets to all concerned departments.
