KARACHI: Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) President Mian Abrar Ahmad here Tuesday urged Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) to listen to the traders’ voice before tariff reviews.

Mian Abrar in a statement urged the Chairman OGRA to give new date of hearing and listen to the point of view of Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry and other stakeholders like All Pakistan Textiles Processing Mills Association (APTPMA) and All Pakistan CNG Association.

He said that a tariff hearing by OGRA was held at Karachi which was presided over by the new Chairman OGRA. It was adjourned in haste without hearing the views of KCCI and other interveners, he said.

He stated that the one-sided decision would not resolve the matter. He urged the Chairman OGRA to announce a new date of hearing at the same venue to provide a fair chance to interveners to submit their point of views.
