  1. CM $B, you have also established Energy Department aiming to eliminate Power Shortage…but it could not give any positive figure….SOLAR ENERGY IS BIG move but dont forget Energy Department which can produce power at lowest cost than any other your launched project

  2. Due to the energy crisis, commerce and manufacturing in Pakistan have collapsed to a near default state. The export sector can no longer deliver on contracts because erratic power supply makes it impossible to adhere to production schedules. Ordinary citizens are subjected to a mass hysteria in an environment where bathing, cooking, or reading can no longer be planned
