Pakistan's textile sector cuts 60% of workers' industry facing immediate collapse

Due to the unplanned and prolonged interruption of natural gas and electricity, Pakistan’s productivity was limited, and the textile sector was forced to lay off 60% of its workers. Khalid, President of Pakistan Power Weaving Association. Ramay said.

In Fisannabad, the supply of natural gas is still suspended, and the supply to industrial users is stopped for almost five days a week, with almost 12 hours of unplanned blackouts per day. This situation has forced industrialists to shut down manufacturing units, which, in turn, has prompted the workforce to migrate to other regions in search of work.

Lamayi said that the entire textile industry, from yarn manufacturing to printing factories, was almost paralyzed by the energy crisis, and a large number of unfinished textiles were rejected as production bottlenecks. Textile exporters, industrialists, and labor organizations condemned the government's poor macroeconomic management and caused the textile industry to lose its vitality.

A major textile exporter, El Tarza. Khan asked the government to implement new policies. This is to save the textile industry, avoid collapse, ensure the employment of workers, and spread the unemployment of textiles.
