The sub-committee on energy of federal cabinet decided to provide frequent electricity to tube wells during night and uninterrupted power supply to agriculture connections. Federal Finance Minister Hafeez Sheikh presided over the meeting, which was held at the governor house. Federal ministers, Dr Asim Hussain, Manzoor Wattoo, Khursheed Shah, Naveed Qamar and other senior bureaucrats participated in the meeting. It was informed at the meeting that if domestic and agricultural connections are separated; uninterrupted power supply to tube wells could be made. Manzoor Wattoo said agriculture is the backbone of an economy and if electricity is not provided in rural areas, then the economy could face serious set backs. However, later it was decided that from March 2012, tube wells would be provided continuous electricity from 10pm to 8am and there would be no unscheduled load shedding during the day.
I think if our government will do anything good for us, that's good.
