Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Minister for Prisons, Mian Nisar Gul Kakakhel said that the provincial government was working on different projects for producing 500 megawatts (MW) of electricity from the natural gas explored in the Karak district. Addressing different public meetings at villages Chagan Banda, Biland Kalley, Aspina and Tapi Khawa, he said that in the near future a gas powered power plant will be installed either in the Karpa Industrial Estate or in the proximity of any gas well to meet the prevailing energy deficiency both in the province and country. He said that a venture for the recycling of the wasted gas from the Nispa oil gas plant is also under consideration, saying negotiations are in progress with both the Oil and Gas Development Company and Mol Pakistan, which will soon bear good results to meet the shortage of electricity.
