After two days of talks between the representatives of All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) and Petroleum Minister Dr. Asim Hussain, the Sui Southern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) has issued a notification that it would restore gas supply to textile industries in the Punjab province from January 23, 2012.
SNGPL had stopped supply of gas to textile industries in Punjab from December 25, and had also faltered to keep its promise of restoring gas supply earlier this month.
Subsequently, APTMA had warned that it would shut all industries leading to large-scale unemployment, as textile industries in Punjab employ more than 10 million people.
SNGPL has divided Punjab province into four zones – Gujranwala-Islamabad, Faisalabad-Sargodha, Lahore-Sahiwal, and Multan, Bhawalpur & DG Khan.
SNGPL notification said the restoration of gas supply would begin with Lahore-Sahiwal zone, where it would supply gas for two days beginning 6 a.m. on January 23, 2012.
