ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Monday said the plan to increase power tariff by six rupees per unit is unacceptable as it will damage masse, hit the economy as well as export sector.
Such a decision is intolerable as it will make life more difficult therefore it should be reversed without delay, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
In a statement issued here today, he said that like all other sectors, the agricultural sector of the country is failing due to the indifferent attitude of the policymakers.
The rehabilitation of this important sector is not a preference for the government and masses have been left at the mercy of the influential food mafia, he added.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that the government cannot improve the agriculture sector therefore steps should be taken to lure foreign investment in this sector to improve its productivity.
Foreign investment should be encouraged in the agriculture sector in a way that it does not affect the national interests and the interests of the farmers, he demanded.
