PM vows to tackle gas load-shedding

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday assured the National Assembly (NA) that his government would address the issue of gas load-shedding being faced by consumers during Sehr and Iftar in the country.

The prime minister, responding to a point of order raised by National Assembly Member Syed Agha Rafiullah, told the house that he had already taken notice of the matter.

He told the lower house of parliament that he had also summoned a meeting, to be held later in the day, to discuss the issue.

“We will leave no stone unturned to address this issue,” the prime minister assured the assembly.

Rafiullah said though the prime minister had already taken notice of the situation, the Sui Southern Gas Company needed to be directed to resolve the issue and provide uninterrupted supply during Sehr and Iftar.
