Almost all the industrial areas in this metropolis are suffering from an acute water shortage on account of power breakdowns at main KW&SB installations, said the industrialists from All Pakistan Textile Processing Mills Association (APTPMA) on Tuesday. In a joint statement, Chairman (Central) Salim Parekh and Regional Chairman M. Arif Lakhany of APTPMA said the ongoing crisis had reduced the industrial output and industries were suffering financially huge losses due to power breakdowns at the KW&SB installations. They further said that the frequent power breakdowns coupled with water shortage would badly hit the export target and the much needed foreign exchange earnings. The industrialists said water supply position had been affected by the protracted power breakdowns.
