Non-supply of power

to Korangi industries

criticised

RECORDER REPORT

KARACHI: Farooq Bakaley, Chairman, Council of Karachi's Industrial Associations (CKIA), has strongly criticised the breakdown of electricity and out of order telephone lines in the Korangi industrial area.

He expressed his concern on the non-supply of electricity to the Korangi industries for the last four days and about 600 telephone lines of the area being out of order for the last 15 days.

He said this meant that all export industries in Korangi had done no business in the last 15 days and the agencies concerned were sleeping over it.

He condemned this lethargic attitude and urged the authorities to take notice.
