Challenges of Energy Imbalance and Its Effects on Production
The director general of the Industry, Mine and Trade Organization of Alborz Province, in another part of his speech, referred to the challenge of energy imbalance and its effects on the activities of production units.

He also called for a precise definition of responsibilities and effective roles of related agencies alongside the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, and emphasized the necessity of the Ministry of Interior playing an effective role in coordinating among executive agencies.
