  1. The new government should immediately disconnect connections of the defaulters and recover dues from the once who have brought us to this dair stage.

  2. Is there any programme for the restoration of electricity crisis in Pakistan. What about the siltations in Turbela dam and Mangla dam. Is there any project for emptying the dam. Or have Pakistan any other alternative source to overcome the shortfall in the country.
