ISLAMABAD:

After a three-hour meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Energy, PM Nawaz on Thursday seemed to lean more towards the idea of an energy emergency, in the wake of Karachi heatwave deaths.

According to sources privy to the CCE deliberations, he lashed out at the committee and told the bureaucrats delivering the presentation to stop their projector.

The premier argued that, as the nation’s chief executive, he should be allowed to suspend PPRA’s rules and declare an ‘energy emergency’.
