Delegation meets governor officials

A delegation led by Mirza Ishtiaq Baig visited the Governor's House on November 09 to discuss supply issues. Ali Haider, who holds the title of Senior Vice President, joined Minister of State Kheal Das Kohistani and National Assembly Member Shahbaz Babar at the meeting. The group discussed policy matters against the backdrop of evolving Middle East situations and prevailing energy challenges.

Governor assures coordination efforts

Governor Syed Muhammad Nehal Hashmi emphasized ensuring uninterrupted LPG supply given current national energy challenges. He stated that industry stakeholder concerns require consultation and appropriate coordination with relevant federal ministries. The association had originally planned a strike for November 16 due to a lack of consultation on the LPG policy.

Strike postponed after assurance

Following the Governor's assurance that reservations would be conveyed to the ministry, the association announced the postponement. Ali Haider noted that incorporating marketer views would help develop a practical and responsive policy. The delegation confirmed that necessary coordination would be facilitated to address sector requirements effectively.
