KARACHI, December 15: Former Vice Chairman of Pakistan Vanaspati Manufacturers Association (PVMA) and Former President KATI Sheikh Umer Rehan has demanded that the ghee & Cooking Oil industry be exempted from the gas load shedding, He said that the supply of gas to important industries has been cut off by the government in the name of the non-export industry which has led to fears of a severe shortage of essential commodities in the coming days. The industry that shuts off the gas supply also includes the ghee industry which is a very important component of food.
Sheikh Umer Rehan added that the ghee industry in Karachi meets more than 50% of the country’s needs. If the ghee industry shuts down, the problems of the people will increase. – PR
