Condemning the unannounced and excessive load shedding Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Provincial Information Secretary of Awami National Party Sardar Hussain Babak asked the federal government take immediate measures to stop load shedding during the month of Ramzan.

In a statement issued from Bacha Khan Markaz he said that both federal and provincial government must avoid their differences and provide relief to the masses. He added that during Awami National Party government a number of power generation schemes were initiated but the incumbent provincial government has not taken steps to maintain work on these power generation projects.

He maintained that it is very regrettable that poor masses are being tortured in this scorching heat, during Ramzan. He said that cursing and criticising each other is a very easy task but giving relief to the masses is indeed a difficult task; one which both the provincial and federal government has failed.

He asked prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to focus the issue of energy crisis in the country and give relief to the poor masses in Ramzan. He expressed hope that both PTI and PML-N will shun their difference, and lead to a scenario where the masses will be able to avail every facility and get rid of load shedding.
