The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) has warned the government that the survival of textile industry would be at stake if gas supply is suspended to the Punjab industries.
The Punjab Chairman S M Tanveerm stated that the country could face a loss of over US$2 billion exports and urged the government to keep a check on the fast depleting foreign exchange reserves and the depreciating currency. He also urged the government to provide uninterrupted gas and electricity supplies to the Punjab-based textile industry, thereby enabling it to perform to its full potential.
