LAHORE: Khamis Saeed Butt, acting chairman Pakistan Industrialist and Traders Association Front (PIAF) said Pak-Iran Gas Pipeline Project would be lifeline for energy sector of Pakistan and the government should complete this project on priority basis.
In a statement issued here on Wednesday, Butt said that the government must not take any pressure on this project of national importance as it would help overcome the energy shortage that has halted the economic activities.
The PIAF acting chairman said that due to gas shortage, the industrial process has come to a grinding halt. He added that because of low productions the industrial growth is fast shrinking.
