The industrial zone will provide a lot of employment opportunities along with industrial development.

The federal government has pushed Sindh’s industry to the brink of disaster with expensive electricity, gas and load shedding. Jam Ikramullah Dharejo said that the federal government is going on a rampage on the 18th amendment.
Sindh provides 73% gas but Sindh is not getting full gas.
