The Pakistan Government has failed to formulate a strategy to cater continuous gas supply to the textile sector. A source informed that 35 per cent of textile units had already been closed, causing a drop in exports worth US $ 1 billion. The industry may lose a total of US $ 2.5 billion exports in case the industry remains non-operational during the winter. Meanwhile, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources said that the Government would cut off the supply of Compressed Natural Gas to the CNG stations in Punjab next year.
