Amid hours of load-shedding caused by the country’s worsening energy crisis, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed the authorities to end the menace from May 1st.
According to the newly elected PM, the power crisis was chiefly due to 27 defunct power plants that were shut down by the previous government of the PTI.
The PM said, 20 out of the 27 power plants have been reactivated.
The PM was reviewing a meeting convened to ponder upon options to take the bull by the horns. Talking about the power plants, the premier said that reactivating them has increased power generation.
He directed the official to solve the crises on a priority basis.
