ISLAMABAD: The Minister for Water and Power Khawaja Muhammad Asif reiterated the government resolve to eliminate load-shedding by the next year.

In a tweet on Saturday, the minister said that after the completion of numerous projects, sufficient power would be added to the national grid by the end of next year.

No load-shedding after 2018, says Nawaz

He said the country witnessed the highest power generation of 19,253 megawatt and that “we are surely marching on the path of Raushan Pakistan”.

Lolz | 6 years ago | Reply Someone tell him that its not about generation, we don't have the transmission capacity at all. And even for generation, we need more money to spend on generation instead of 200 billion dollar orange line. Having reliance on IPP's and external debts, how could this guy announce such lies. Pathetic.
