One of the protestors said the production units depend on gas and if the factories are closed they won’t be able to pay taxes and jobs.
The suspension of factories will lay off thousands of workers and it will become difficult for them to earn their livelihood.
One of the factory owners said that they are trying to stop workers of factories and mills but in case the situation worsens, it will be out of their control to handle them.
