Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry Monday severely criticised SNGPL authorities for their failure to restore supply of gas to Pakistan Re-Rolling Mills despite a promise of gas supply on January 23rd. In a statement issued after receiving a number complaints from Re-rolling Mills Association, LCCI President Irfan Qaiser Sheikh and Senior Vice President Kashif Younis Meher said if SNGPL authorities had kept their words, over three to four hundred thousand workers attached with the industry would not be jobless today. “It is very disturbing that the people came to their jobs in the morning and after a few hours they were asked to go back as gas could not be restored.” LCCI office-bearers urged the president and PM to play their due role and direct concerned authorities into restoring gas to steel industry.
