Description

Prolonged fuel crisis has started affecting development works and operation of large scale industries in the district.

Large scale cement factories that were planning to launch their products by Feb said fuel shortage has badly impacted their preparations, forcing them to postpone their plans. These industries have the capacity to substantially replace cement imports. Similarly, road expansion project in the district has also been affected.

The crisis has rendered thousands of daily wage workers jobless. Entrepreneurs, who were using fuel to supplement the electricity crisis, are now left with no option but to temporarily shut down the operation till the crisis gets over.
