The government has released ten billion rupees to facilitate and support the power generation companies to reduce load-shedding.
This was announced by Advisor to the Prime Minister on Finance Dr. Shahid Amjad Chaudhry at a joint press conference along with Minister for Water and Power Dr. Musadik Malik and Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Sohail Wajahat H. Siddiqui in Islamabad.
He said another twenty billion rupees will be released shortly. Similarly‚ thirty-five billion rupees will be released to the companies next month.
He said a three-member committee has been constituted to look into the energy crisis and chalk out short term strategy to reduce electricity shortage.
The Advisor said country is currently generating nine thousand two hundred megawatts of electricity against the demand of thirteen thousand eight hundred to fourteen thousand megawatts.
A good effort on the par of care taker government to alleviate sufferings of people of Pakistan on account of load shedding. It is an investment in right direction. Non interference in sphere of policy making and alerting all energies and resources towards holding of fair and impartial elections may give a food for thought to political thinkers that other ways also exist for good governance. May God give hem speed and energy to accomplish their assignment of holding fair and impartial elections.
