LARKANA, April 19: The Sindh-Balochistan Rice Millers and Traders Association (SBRMTA) has demanded uninterrupted power supply to rice mills.

Talking to this correspondent here on Saturday, SBRMTA president Gada Hussain Mahisar said Wapda had resorted to unannounced load-shedding to meet the line losses.

He said he had informed the Wapda chairman about the situation in a letter.

He said the load-shedding was affecting the working of rice mills of the interior of Sindh and Balochistan where 750 mills were functioning.
