Founder President of the Abbottabad Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Saima Rizwan Shah, has raised concerns over the detrimental impact of expensive electricity and unjust taxes on the industry.
In a recent statement, Saima Rizwan Shah emphasized that the oppressive policies surrounding high electricity rates and unwarranted taxes are wreaking havoc on businesses.
She expressed her commitment to continue raising her voice against these unjust practices.
Supporting the statement of the chamber’s Patron-in-Chief, S. M. Tanveer, Saima highlighted that Independent Power Producers (IPPs) are a significant factor behind the skyrocketing electricity prices in Pakistan.
These policies, she said, have forced many industries to shut down, placing immense hardships on the lives of the general public.
Furthermore, she identified electricity theft as another critical issue exacerbating the high electricity rates.
The combination of these factors is not only devastating our economy but also deteriorating the country’s overall economic condition.
Saima Rizwan Shah called for collective efforts to address and resolve these challenges to stabilize and strengthen the economy.
She urged all stakeholders to work together in finding sustainable solutions to these pressing problems.
By addressing the root causes of high electricity costs and implementing fair tax policies, there is hope for reviving the industrial sector and improving the lives of the people affected by these issues.
