Pakistan Industrial & Traders Association Front (PIAF) has said that Energy Conference must give some long term solution to the aggravating energy crisis but it has failed to come up with any such breakthrough. In their joint reaction on the outcomes of energy conference, Chairman PIAF Engr. Sohail Lashari, Chairman Lahore Township Industries Association Iftikhar Bashir Chaudhry and Chairman Autoparts Manufacturers & Exporters Association Tahir Javed Malik said that decisions like closure of markets at 8 pm, electricity suspension to the neon signs and two holidays in the government departments would hardly help in bridging gap between demand and supply of the electricity. Particularly two holidays would create more hurdles for the trade and industry.
