Punjab being the industrialized province contributes inevitably to Pakistan’s economy but the insufficient supply of Electricity and gas is affecting the industry badly. Businessmen are quite aggressive with their main concerns regarding discrimination in supply of gas and electricity. I think every province should e treated equally and how is it possible that gas is available to the industry in some parts of the country while no gas for Punjab at all.
