Govt fixing load-shedding issue: PM Shehbaz

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Monday said the country is facing load-shedding as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government neither purchased fuel in time nor repaired power plants. 

On his official twitter handle, the premier wrote that costly power generation through inefficient plants is costing the people one hundred billion rupees per month. 

“We are fixing the problem,” he said.

The Prime Minister recalled that the government of Nawaz Sharif had ended the worst load shedding in five years.

Mian Nawaz Sharif's govt ended the worst load-shedding in 5 years. PTI govt neither purchased fuel in time nor repaired power plants. Hence the current load-shedding. Costly power generation through inefficient plants is costing the people Rs.100 billion/month. We are fixing it.
