KARACHI: North Karachi Association of Trade and Industry (NKATI) leaders have urged K-Electric not to enforce Industrial Support Program (ISP) charges till 30th April 2020.
In a joint statement, NKATI Captain A Moiz Khan and President Naseem Akhtar have said, “If K-Electric will not stop to harass the business community, the industrialists will place a lockdown in their factories and will also stage protest against this injustice act.”
NKATI leaders appealed Governor Sindh Imran Ismail and Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah for intervention and issue directives to K-Electric not to enforce ISPA charges till the end of the month, as K-Electric had deferred the ISPA till 30th April 2020.
Captain Khan and President Akhtar further said that industries have received supplementary bills in the name of ISP adjustment but due to coronavirus threats and lockdown, it is impossible for industries to pay bills.
NKATI leaders warned K-Electric to stop the harassment and do not enforce ISPA charges, otherwise, it will leave a very negative impact on exports, while K-Electric will be responsible for industries shutdown and worker’s unemployment.
