Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday directed the officials of the Power Ministry to minimize Pakistan’s dependence on imported fuel for power generation and instead utilize indigenous energy resources to provide affordable electricity to the people.
He issued the instructions during a meeting held here on Thursday to review the proposals for curtailing electricity load shedding in the upcoming winter season.
The Premier, while directing the authorities to provide maximum relief to electricity consumers, asked the Power Ministry to closely monitor the demand and supply gap of electricity in winter.
The officials of the Ministry of Power gave a detailed briefing on the power demand and fuel projections for the winter season.
The meeting was attended by former PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Murtaza Javed Abbasi, Minister of Power Khurram Dastgir, Minister of State for Petroleum Dr. Musadik Malik and others.
Everyone knows that reducing dependence on imports and achieving self reliance is the key to success, no one cannot simply solve the country’s long standing issues by giving statements that what needs to be done and what we should focus on. Where are the concrete steps? where are the related bills and resolutions? Where are the related projects?
Politics is all smoke and mirrors!
