The industry sources told Business Recorder that APTMA Punjab has convened an emergent general body meeting on Monday (today) at the APTMA Punjab office.
It may be noted that Federal Advisor to Prime Minister on Petroleum and Natural Resources Dr Asim Hussain had announced 4 hours a day gas supply to mills in Punjab to mitigate the impact of six hours a day power loadshedding during peak hours. But Ministry for Water and Power reacted immediately and notified for power supply suspension to textile mills in Punjab for indefinite period.
It may be noted that majority of power-reliant mills are already closed due to unprecedented loadshedding. The industry is likely to lose around $3 billion exports due to energy shortage.
