He further said that industrial sector has already been facing various problems. Local industries are completely dependent on natural gas, as they cannot have any alternative. He criticized SSGC for not taking the industries into confidence and making the decision in such abrupt manner that the industries cannot possibly plan for any alternatives.
The government must understand that non-supply of gas would render thousands of industrial workers unemployed, cause losses of millions of rupees in revenue for the national exchequer and will discourage investors contemplating industrial investment in the country. Usman urged Sindh governor to take serious notice of current circumstances which will cause heavy financial losses and large-scale unemployment, which will consequently affect the law and order situation in the city.
