He said that only 150 megawatts uninterrupted power supply was direly needed, which could save the Sialkot industries from disaster. He revealed that the daily unscheduled and forced load shedding has badly affected the 80 percent industrial production and exports in Sialkot, as the foreign buyers were canceling their orders placed to Sialkot exporters.
