“Should the NGC be in such a dispute of interest, and should gas supplies to other operatives not be reachable in the essential measures to convey these operatives’ profitability, then there are urgent, thoroughly tragic outgrowths for the many workers employed with these operatives. I note media articles that some thirty thousand (30,000) operators stand to be put in the breadline if these operatives can no extended operate at constant and sufficient margins,” he added.
People’s Reaction:
People have given their point of view on this statement.

With plants shut down, a significant risk for both NGC and GOTT is foreign exchange shortage risk; Yungrow never considered the forex supply risk when they shut down Petrotrin, and now defacto shut down NGC.”
