LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that a huge sum of Rs112 billion has been saved by setting a great example of transparency in the 3600-megawatt gas-based projects and it is sanguine that these projects have been completed in a record period of time. He expressed these views while talking to a delegation of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), here today.

The electricity produced by the gas-based projects is being provided to the consumers cheaply and it is important to note that the projects have been completed with a speed and transparency that have no match in the 70 year history of Pakistan, he said. He added that the world has acknowledged the achievements of PML-N for the eradication of energy crisis from the country. He said that the 1320-megawatt Sahiwal Coal Power Plant has been completed in a record period of 22 months only, which is a very short span of time.

The chief minister said that the incumbent government has spent national resources on public welfare in a very transparent manner. Contrary to that, the past rulers have set records of corruption in their tenures, he said. He said that when the PML-N came into power, the energy crisis was turned into a chaotic situation in the country and the darkness of load-shedding, poverty and unemployment are gifts of past rulers’ corruption.

He concluded by saying that the PML-N government has succeeded in the court of people by fulfilling the commitments promised in the election of 2013 and it will also achieve success in the election of 2018 with a new vision of public service.
