Kundi raises power, gas loadshedding issues with PM

PESHAWAR:

Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi on Tuesday wrote a letter to Prime Minister of Pakistan, urging to take immediate action to end electricity and gas loadshedding in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Expressing serious concerns over electricity and gas loadshedding in the province during the holy month of Ramadan, the governor stated that KP is a province that produces an ample amount of electricity and natural gas, yet it is being deprived of its own resources.

He criticized the ongoing power and gas outages, saying they have made life miserable for the people of the province.

He further pointed out that despite the Prime Minister's announcement of uninterrupted power and gas supply during Ramadan, the reality on the ground is different. Load shedding during Sehri, Iftar, and prayer times has caused immense difficulties for citizens, he added.

"The sanctity of Ramadan demands that people be provided with a peaceful environment," the Governor emphasized.

He stressed that resolving these issues would allow the people of KP to focus on their religious obligations like the rest of the country.

Kundi acknowledges honey industry's concerns

K-P Governor Faisal Karim Kundi pledged to discuss the issues of Honey Industry with the federal government and emphasized the need for comprehensive measures to boost honey production and international market access. He said this during a meeting with the delegation from the All Pakistan Beekeepers, Exporters, and Honey Traders Association.

The delegation, led by Association President Saleem Khan, included other office bearers and discussed the challenges and growth opportunities of the province's honey industry.

The delegation highlighted Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's significant honey production and its global reputation for quality and unique characteristics. APP
