00:00Mr. Zahir, wherever you go in Faisalabad,
00:04you will always see a troubled state of mind when you talk to someone related to the industry.
00:08As-salamu alaykum. How are you?
00:10Brother, I have come to see you.
00:13My work here is trading.
00:15I sell my stock to the owners here.
00:19I have come here to see you and remember you.
00:21Of course, talk to me.
00:23Pakistan's cotton production is number 5.
00:27We are number 5 in the world.
00:29But our textile industry is also number 1 in the world.
00:34And it should be.
00:36The biggest reason is that our electricity and gas are very expensive.
00:42It is so expensive that we are not able to compete with the world's textile industry.
00:48We give them threads and cloths.
00:52They say that they are making cloths and will sell them later.
00:56The problem is that we sell the cloths and get electricity bills deposited.
01:00They are returning your money.
01:01Okay, so they are returning your money, they have to pay the electricity bill,
01:05they have to pay the laborers, and there are other expenses as well.
01:08Yes, all these problems are due to electricity bills.
01:13So, it would have been better if the electricity bills were increased comparatively before this.
01:17Look, Iqrar, our industry boosted in the days of Corona.
01:23It boosted a lot.
01:25The reason for this was that we started getting orders from all over the world.
01:29If someone has one or two factories, he has three, he has four.
01:34But now the reason is that the electricity bills have increased so much
01:38that their first one was also closed.
01:40In our old Pakistan, there are about 12 factories.
01:43Sir is saying that he has 56 looms and 10 or 12 are running.
01:46Even if the factory is running, it is still in this condition.
01:49What do you think is the solution?
01:51The solution is that the electricity bill should be reduced.
01:55The taxes should be reduced.
01:57Assalam-o-Alaikum, Sir, how are you?
02:01Are you doing well?
02:02Are you a resident of this area?
02:04Yes, I am a resident of this area. I work in Pabulu.
02:06I have been working for a month now.
02:10I don't get any work.
02:11You yourself said that there is no increase in expenses.
02:16It is exactly like this.
02:18These are the same things that everyone has done.
02:21But you have spent a big part of your life.
02:25Yes, I have been working in Pabulu for 45 years.
02:28For 45 years in Pabulu?
02:29Yes, exactly.
02:30My father gave me two and a half months of work.
02:33I didn't make anything in the future.
02:35Allah Akbar.
02:36So in the 45 years that you worked hard to earn a living for your children,
02:40have you ever seen such a situation in those 45 years?
02:44No, I have never seen such a situation.
02:46I have also seen that if you earn Rs 500 a week,
02:50everyone comes to eat at home.
02:52Now I have earned Rs 20,000-20,000.
02:55I have seen it.
02:56Nothing happens.
02:57The situation is very bad.
02:59The situation is very bad.
03:00We give you our blessings.
03:04May Allah bless you.
03:05You are doing a very good job.
03:08May Allah bless you too.
03:09May Allah bless you too.
03:10Ameen.
03:11Whatever my friends have said is mine.
03:13How many sons and daughters do you have in your family?
03:19I have three sons.
03:20May Allah bless them.
03:21They also have children.
03:22Yes, they are responsible for their children.
03:23I have 15-17-18 children.
03:26If they come to my house,
03:28I hold them and send them to school.
03:30I haven't sent them to school yet.
03:32Do you send them to school?
03:33Yes, I send them to school.
03:34I have to send them to school.
03:36Of course, you have to send them to school.
03:38Yes, I have to send them to school.
03:39May Allah bless them.
03:40I don't send them to school.
03:41You are saying that you have never seen such a situation before.
03:45What do you think is the reason for such a bad situation?
03:48What is the reason?
03:49What else can it be?
03:50The government.
03:52Look, the IMF takes money.
03:54Do they take it from us?
03:55No.
03:56Or do they take it from you?
03:57What do you think is the reason?
03:59Look, my relatives work for the government.
04:01They also have an AC at home.
04:03They also have free electricity.
04:06And we are giving them money.
04:08Yes, we are giving them money.
04:10May Allah bless them.
04:11Remember my prayers.
04:12May Allah bless you.
04:14How are you?
04:15I am fine.
04:16So, you also work in power rooms.
04:18Yes.
04:19How long have you been doing this?
04:20It's been 25 years.
04:21It's been 25 years.
04:22In 25 years, this situation will be over.
04:25I have never seen such a situation before.
04:26I also went through the same situation when I was a child.
04:28We haven't seen such a situation before in 25 years.
04:30Yes.
04:31But actually, the main reason for this is electricity.
04:37Yes.
04:38It's expensive.
04:39In the past, power rooms used to make a lot of noise.
04:44We used to ask anyone,
04:46which work is this?
04:47Power room.
04:48Yes.
04:49How are you doing?
04:50It's going very well.
04:51Mashallah.
04:52People didn't complain about the situation, right?
04:54They do now.
04:55Why do they do it now?
04:56We used to ask anyone.
04:58The situation is very bad.
05:03It's been 16 months.
05:06The situation is very bad.
05:11I have to earn 27,000 Rupees a month.
05:14How much do you earn a month?
05:17I earned 27,000 Rupees last year.
05:19How much did you earn this month?
05:21I earned 35,000 Rupees.
05:22You earned 35,000 Rupees and lost 27,000 Rupees.
05:24I worked hard to earn 35,000 Rupees.
05:27I don't earn more than that.
05:31You are watching Ghulam Muhammadabad,
05:36which used to be a power room hub in Faisalabad.
05:40Now it is completely silent.
05:43There are a lot of factories and buildings
05:46that are locked.
05:48Let's talk to him.
05:50Hello.
05:51How are you?
05:52Fine.
05:53How long have you been working here?
05:58I have been working here for 15 years.
06:01It's been a month since I got a job.
06:04I live on rent.
06:06The rent is 15,000 Rupees.
06:08The electricity bill is 20,000 Rupees.
06:13My mother is sick.
06:14I don't have money for her medicine.
06:16I have to buy insulin for her.
06:17I don't have money for that either.
06:19Sometimes when I don't have money,
06:21my mother asks me to pay the bill.
06:24That's how it is.
06:26I don't even pay my children's fees.
06:28My children are at home.
06:30I am talking about their basic needs.
06:33I am not talking about their luxuries.
06:35They don't have enough money for their basic needs.
06:38You have been saying for a month
06:40that you don't have a job.
06:41What is the reason for that?
06:43I don't get work.
06:44There are no jobs anywhere.
06:46I don't get work.
06:47Earlier, when I was in Pakistan,
06:49there was so much work.
06:51People used to beg for work.
06:53People used to look for good workers.
06:55Yes, they used to look for them.
06:56Now, when I go to look for them,
06:58they say they don't have work.
07:00You don't have a job for a month.
07:02The electricity bill is 20,000 Rupees.
07:04The rent is 15,000 Rupees.
07:06Your mother's medicines are at their place.
07:08Your children's fees are at their place.
07:10What are your plans for the next month?
07:12I am thinking of doing something.
07:15We live in Pakistan.
07:17People have made our lives difficult.
07:19People are asking for loans.
07:20Where should we go?
07:21Sometimes we take loans from them,
07:23sometimes from our friends.
07:24But where should we go?
07:25And there is no hope for work?
07:27There is no hope for work.
07:28We don't feel that work is going on.
07:30If work is going on,
07:31then we will return the loan.
07:32We get calls from the tenants every day.
07:34Give us the rent.
07:35Give us the rent.
07:36We will give you a good one.
07:37But how much will they give us?
07:39We will take care of that as well.
07:41How many children do you have?
07:42I have three children.
07:43Every father thinks about his children.
07:45He wants to educate them.
07:47He wants to give them a good education.
07:49He wants them to live a better life than us.
07:51Do you think you will be able to continue
07:53the education of your children?
07:54It has become very difficult.
07:56Both my children came first.
07:58They study in the first class.
07:59They are good.
08:00But when they don't have fees,
08:01they call us.
08:02I told them not to ask for fees from the children.
08:04Call me.
08:05Don't send the children home.
08:07What effect will it have on the children?
08:09We don't even have that much.
08:10Give us the fees.
08:11But what to do?
08:12If the work is going on,
08:13we don't have to do it.
08:15The workers are so worried.
08:16Everyone is so worried.
08:17Who do you think is responsible for all this?
08:19Our government is responsible for all this.
08:21They have the right to give us at least a job.
08:23Give us a job so that
08:24every worker can run the house.
08:28May Allah make it easy for you.
08:29May Allah give your mother health and well-being.
08:31Does she pray for you?
08:32For the industry?
08:33For the country?
08:34Yes, she prays a lot.
08:36May Allah give her health and well-being.
08:38She takes good care of us.
08:40And like she said,
08:41if you can't give her all the medicines,
08:44then she...
08:45I haven't given her all the medicines.
08:47May Allah give her health and well-being.
08:48We all pray for her.
