Sudden increase of Rs3.40 per unit in electricity tariff ostensibly in the name of fuel adjustment not only has its repercussions in industry, but is against the masses as well. It could be perceived as the last straw on camel’s back, so to speak. Bulk increase would also give a bad name to the government and therefore, the government should withdraw it immediately.
These views were expressed by the Chairman, Pakistan Industrial and Traders Associations Front (PIAF), Sohail Lashari, Chairman, Auto Parts Manufacturers and Exporters Association, Tahir Javed Malik and Chairman, Lahore Township Industries Association (LTIA), Haroon Shafiq Chaudhry in a press statement.
