Karachi traders reject energy saving plan

KARACHI (April 23, 2010): Traders on Thursday rejected the government plan of energy conservation, saying that it would cripple the trade and business activities by 50 percent. In an spontaneous reaction, they also appealed to Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to take suo motu action against the government for its move of cutting 300 MW of electricity from Karachi's power share.
