LAHORE: Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has invited Punjab Chief Minister Shahaz Sharif to attend a meeting on December 20 to discuss gas load management.

Gas load shedding in Punjab has badly affected the pace of industrial development and thousands of people have become jobless.

Shahbaz had, in a statement, said recently that Punjab was being treated unfairly with regard to gas supply, which was not only badly affecting industrial sector but also depriving labourers of their livelihood. He had said there should be a uniform gas load shedding throughout the country and Punjab should be given its due right.

He had said if the grievances of Punjab were not removed, he would stage protest with industrialists, traders and labourers.

Taking notice of this statement, the prime minister has convened a meeting to resolve the problems.
