In an emerging meeting, Capt. A Moiz Khan and President Naseem Akhtar further said that Industries have received supplementary bills in the name of ISP adjustment but due to coronavirus threats and lockdown, it’s impossible for industries to pay bills.
NKATI leaders warn K-Electric to stop harassment and not to enforce ISPA charges till 30th April 2020, otherwise industrialists will lockdown their factories as a protest, in this result aside from having a very negative impact on exports, also have concerns about the unemployment of workers, while K-Electric will be responsible of industries shutdown and worker’s unemployment.
