According to the local news media, the textile sector in Punjab has faced an unprecedented situation due to the energy crisis, which has caused the closure of all textile mills across the province.
The electricity supply to textile mills across the province was cut off at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, according to details.
Despite the government’s determination to help the export sector, the textile mills’ gas supply has already been cut off.
Textile mill owners claim that they are unable to operate their units on industrial self-generation due to the high cost and lack of capacity.
As a result, all text mills in Punjab province have shut down, thereby increasing unemployment in the country and affecting the country’s export sector, which might have far-reaching effects for the economy.
