Power Outage: ‘Avoid loadshedding during Ramazan’

PESHAWAR:

Senior Minister of Khyber-Pakthunkhwa Bashir Ahmed Bilour on Monday directed the Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO ) authorities to avoid loadshedding in the month of Ramazan, so that the power supply should continue to fasting people during Sehr and Iftar timings uninterruptedly. During a meeting with Chief Executive of Peshawar Electric Supply Company PESCO Wali Muhammad Khan here, the minister lamented that despite clear directives by the government, neither the loadshedding duration had been reduced nor abolished during Sehr and Iftar timings.    The minister said loadshedding should either be ended or at least be regulated.
