ISLAMABAD:

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif stated on Tuesday that his top priority was to rid the country of loadshedding by 2017.

Addressing the ground-breaking ceremony of the 24-km signal free corridor of the Islamabad Expressway, Mr Sharif said that besides development of infrastructure, the government was equally concentrating on energy-related projects.

The prime minister said that this year there was less loadshedding than last year and mentioned a number of ongoing power projects, eg the 960MW Neelum Jhelum, 1400MW Tarbella-IV and 1000MW by LNG which, he said, would help address the issue of power shortage.

He said the government had lowered the power tariff by Rs5.32 per unit.

  2. If you listened to his speech,you might have noticed that he spent few minutes talking about what all is in works to eliminate energy crisis,but he spent a long time talking about building roads.Mr.PM,how in the world are these 10 lanes going to help with the heat when there is no electricity to run the fan??????? How will that overpass help the average person when there is no light to see in the dark????how will that 24km signal free corridor help the elderly and the children who cannot handle the summer heat for hours at a time??? But I guess when it comes to re-doing the PM house and increasing the expenses for the PM house and the Presidents house,it gets done within days.This government needs to get its priorities straight,fix the issues which affect the people of Pakistan first who elected you,not your own comforts and luxuries.

  3. Before the elections,you made promises everyday to eliminate energy crisis and load shedding in 6 months,now you say its not an easy fix and it will take until 2017,and thats only a promise too like the last ones.Proof is in the pudding,results don't lie.
